Doctors for a Day
DOCTORS FOR A DAY
The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) Student National Medical
Association (SNMA) hosted 40 fifth graders from Wolffarth Elementary for the Doctors
for a Day Mini Camp in efforts to inspire and inform the elementary students to experience
a day in the life of a medical student.
Students received a hands-on experience at the TTUHSC F. Marie Hall SimLife Center
by diagnosing patients with different medical scenarios, working with ultrasound equipment
to learn how they are used by physicians, working with simulation mannequins in the
simulation lab and seeing an emergency simulation act.
