Building pathways to medicine starts with creating opportunities for young people to see themselves in health care.

In May, medical and physician assistant students joined OACC, the Center for Native Excellence and Tribal Engagement, and the Southern Utah Regional Medical Campus for an outreach tour focused on health education and career exploration.

Through hands-on activities, including suturing, ultrasound demonstrations, and “find the fracture”, students explored careers in health and medicine while connecting with future health professionals.

These experiences help strengthen relationships, inspire future generations, and support pathways into health professions for students from rural and Tribal communities.

Building community, creating connections, and making summer memories!

The OACC, NETE, NARI, and GSRM came together for an afternoon of fun, laughter, and community.

With an epic water balloon fight and a delicious cookout, students had the opportunity to relax, enjoy great food, and strengthen relationships with one another outside of the classroom and research spaces. Events like these remind us that community is at the heart of academic success.

Here’s to a summer filled with collaboration, friendship, and unforgettable moments!

The OACC and NETE had the pleasure of welcoming a group of middle and high school students from the Urban Indian Center to the University of Utah campus! Students had the opportunity to explore campus while participating in a variety of hands-on activities, including beaded bracelet making, suturing lessons, and bowling.

We are so grateful for the opportunity to share our campus and connect with these amazing students.
Thank you for spending the day with us—we hope to see you again soon!
