HCC at Middle College High School: a partnership with Doctors 4 Diversity at UCI Medical School and UCI Medical Center “So you want to be a doctor? Or a nurse? Or a physician’s assistant? Or a respiratory therapist? Or you don’t know exactly, but you are fascinated by medicine, and maybe Grey’s Anatomy is your favorite show? ”

HCC at Middle College High School: a partnership with Doctors 4 Diversity at UCI Medical School and UCI Medical Center • Program staffed by volunteer medical students and medical professionals to provide an opportunity for disadvantaged high school students to learn about career opportunities that exist in health care if they stay in school. • Curriculum provided by a non-profit organization that supports 13 programs nationwide • In California, two other programs are currently running: • Stanford Medicine with East Palo Alto academy • USC Keck School of Medicine with Orthopaedic Medical Magnet High School • We are third! UCI Medical School with Middle College High School

Last year, we heard lectures from medical professionals about their careers, worked in groups to explore different health care topics, and participated in a suturing workshop. In April and May, we participated in two virtual workshops on Zoom.

A highlight last year was the day students in HCC were able to participate in a suture lab, guided by the medical students and surgical residents.

Here is a video of one of the groups during the suture lab.

• Longitudinal program starting with current 10 th grade students, to be continued through 11 th and 12 th grade • Current 10 th, 11 th and 12 th grade students will be welcomed to participate • Monthly classroom sessions (~2 hours) consisting of virtual workshops with a focus this year on epidemiology related to the pandemic and public health. The curriculum will evolve and include learning about career opportunities as well.
