HONOLULU (KHON2) — If your child wants to be a doctor or dentist, or maybe they don’t know yet, there’s an amazing program that exposes elementary school kids to careers in healthcare.
Organizers joined WakeUp2Day to talk about “Dr. Me!,” a free STEM program designed to expose keiki in grades 3 to 5 to careers in healthcare.
The program introduces keiki to medicine, dentistry, nursing and research.
The pilot program was this Summer in collaboration between Hawai’i Links and Kaiser West O’ahu.
Dr. Camonia Graham-Tutt, President of the Hawai’i Chapter of The Links, said the goal is for more youth to learn about medical/health professions and eventually become doctors.
