UM medical students from Beyond Barriers joined OYC Miami during our after school program, giving our youth a firsthand look into the journey toward careers in medicine and healthcare.
Students had the opportunity to learn about the college experience, the path to medical school, and the dedication it takes to pursue careers in the medical field. The experience also included hands-on activities such as CPR demonstrations, reflex checks, listening to heartbeats, treating a broken ankle, practicing stitches, and more.
Moments like this bring learning to life, allowing our youth to explore new career paths, build confidence, and engage directly with professionals who are helping shape the next generation of leaders in healthcare.
