Lowes participates in mini-medical school

Sam Lowes

Sam Lowes, a senior at Jackson High School, was among 100 students selected to participate in the University of Missouri School of Medicine's High School Mini Medical School. The program, now in its 15th year, is designed to give high school seniors who are interested in medical careers a one-week preview of medical school. Lowes will participate in a medical-school style curriculum, which includes problem-based learning, a method of teaching that combines independent learning in small groups with patient care cases. Students also will participate in sessions with clinical and research specialists; gain hands-on experience in anatomy, microbiology and clinical skills; interact with medical school student, faculty and staff; and attend seminars on college and medical school life. Students will attend one of two summer sessions from June 16 to 20, or from June 23 to 27.
