Middle School Junior Doctors Program

On April 19, 2025, sixty middle school students from across the Houston area participated in the Junior Doctors Program at �����������, an interactive session designed to spark curiosity in medicine and anesthesiology. Held at the Michael E. DeBakey Center, the event featured hands-on stations where students practiced listening to heart and lung sounds, simulated epidural placement using cantaloupe models, and explored how anesthesiologists protect airways during surgery. Organized by Dr. Connie Vu Tran and Dr. Shixia Huang, with support from faculty, medical students, and volunteers, the program also included a “Meet the Doctors” panel to inspire students through real-world career journeys. Student and parent feedback reflected the program’s impact: “I love how we can interact with real professionals at one of the best medical schools,” one wrote, while others praised the “hands-on activities,” “authentic conversations with student doctors,” and how the session was “very informative” and “encouraged young students to make their dreams come true.”
