The purpose of Doctor for a Day is to provide outreach to youth of color in the greater Seattle area. The aim is to inspire and encourage middle school and high school students of color to consider medicine or other healthcare careers. Run almost entirely by UW School of Medicine students, Doctor for a Day events are made up of hands-on stations such as: teaching physical exam skills, patient interviewing techniques, and suturing.
If your school or program is interested in sponsoring a Doctor for a Day program, please contact Danielle Ishem at ishem@uw.edu.
For more information about a Doctor for a Day program near you, please check the SNMA FaceBook page for upcoming events.
