Junior High Students Learn at Mount Sinai Through Hands-On Experience

  • (November 06, 2014)

One hospital is trying to get young teens interested in medicine, and it begins with the scalpel. It's not exactly your typical day at school but these 7th and 8th graders are spending the day at Mount Sinai Medical Center for an up close look at what life might be like as a medical student. They're invited to Mount Sinai's Center for Excellence in Youth Education with the hopes of getting them excited about a career in medicine. "The cornerstone of all of our programming is the hands on piece. So we really want the students engaged in hands-on curriculum, doing science, doing dissections and being here in the hospital," said Alison Davis, CEYE at Mount Sinai.
