The program, sponsored by the Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce, allows students to visit the medical school and other healthcare sites in Mobile and Baldwin County.
According to Dr. Cindy Stanfield, director of the health pre-professional program at USA, the Summer Scrubs program allows high school students to learn about health careers early. “This will hopefully increase the students’ enthusiasm and encourage them to work hard in high school by taking college preparation and advanced coursework,” she said.
While the high school students were visiting the medical school, USA College of Medicine administrators talked with them about career options, and USA medical students presented scientific lectures for the teens.
