Student to Student
Student to Student is a community education program run by medical students. The program serves to communicate a wide range of health information to K-12 students throughout the greater Dayton community at no expense to them or their schools. Medical students visit classrooms and talk with students about a variety of health topics of interest in an age appropriate manner. Talks are geared towards "hands on" learning, using tools such as medical instruments, human bones and organs from Wright State's medical labs.
