A Day in the Health Sciences for Junior High School Students is an annual program presented to junior high school students one Saturday each year. Approximately 100 students participate each year from schools all over Utah. Students participate in interactive workshops featuring activities in each of the health science programs. A session is held for parents to learn about University of Utah Admissions and Financial Aid.
Parents also receive a tour of the hospital and attend several of the sessions with their students.
This program is presented by professionals, students, and staff members from the colleges of Engineering, Health, Nursing, Pharmacy, the School of Medicine, the Physician Assistant Program and The Natural History of Genes.
