Osteopathic medical students visit underserved high schools to inspire and inform 11th- and 12th-grade students about health careers, including pathways into osteopathic medicine. The project promotes MSU and MSUCOM pipeline programs and measures outcomes via pre-/post-interaction surveys to assess medical students' communication skills and impact on high school students' awareness and interest in health careers.
