Again this spring, Georgia 4-H and Mercer University School of Medicine(MUSM) will offer the collaborative event, Setting Your Sights on Medical School. The Setting Your Sights on Medical School Event allows 9th-12th grade 4-H members an opportunity to explore medical school, tour the campus and ask questions of students and faculty. During the event, 4-H members will get to meet medical school students and faculty, learn about rural health, application procedures and scholarship opportunities, as well as tour the school and labs. This event will provide a hands-on learning opportunity for youth interested in a future career in medicine.
