Yale MedSci

Our Mission:

MedSci is a student-run organization that educates students about interesting and useful health skills using a scientific lens. Through this program, we hope to introduce elementary students to biological concepts by using health examples they can relate to, such as fevers and allergies.

Our Activities:

Health science lessons at New Haven Public Schools Direct Service MedSci works in New Haven Public Schools to introduce students to higher-level biology concepts early on in their academic careers to expose them to fascinating topics in science that lie ahead. To make the material approachable, we introduce concepts in a grade-appropriate manner (without assuming a large amount of background knowledge) and use examples that the students can understand and apply in their daily lives. We hope that sharing our passion for medicine and science will encourage kids to become excited about learning science and inspire them to possibly pursue a career in the health sciences.
