Congratulations to WesternU's Pediatric Interest Group on the success of their recent community event! This student club consistently organizes engaging and educational workshops as part of the Mini Medical School initiative, held twice a year. This time, children from Pre-K through second grade had the unique opportunity to explore the world of medicine.

The mini "doctors" participated in a variety of workshops, including Scrub-In, Pathology, Suturing, Injections, and Ultrasound. It is heartwarming to witness WesternU's student doctors in action, showcasing their passion and commitment to uplifting communities. Their positive energy and patience were truly inspiring, leaving a lasting impression on the young minds they engaged with.

Join us in extending our gratitude to them for their invaluable contribution in inspiring the next generation of doctors.
