About 20 Roskruge Bilingual Magnet School students are participating in a pilot program designed to introduce students to the world of medicine. Funded through Title 1, the program offers students the opportunity to learn about the human anatomy, dissection and the effects of bacteria and viruses on the body.
Students also get the chance to wear surgical masks and caps donated by local hospitals.
Additionally, men and women from various medical professions speak to the students about their occupations and what it takes to succeed in their field. In addition to the dissection, students will learn about the different parts of the brain and work with hands-on anatomy models.
