OSU medical students will be working with Springfield high school students to give them a taste of the medical field.
Over the next few months, OSU students will give tips on how to get into medical school and go over different testing and applications.
“It’s just an opportunity for their students, there’s about six of them who are pre-med and going into various roles, to come to the high school and meet with our students once a month,” Anita Biles, the Community Outreach Coordinator for the School-Based Health Centers (SBHC), said.
Most importantly, they will help inspire the next generation of medical professionals.
