Programs for Youth & Undergrads
Exploring the health sciences at a young age helps learners develop skills that are necessary for future careers in related fields. And as a college student, meaningful experiences within the health professions cultivate leadership skills that can be applied to transform care. Dell Medical School is committed to creating such opportunities for local youth and young adults, with a focus on those from traditionally underrepresented areas of the community.
Offerings
In a semester-long apprenticeship, students of UT Austin and Huston-Tillotson University as well as recent grads work alongside Dell Med faculty and staff on projects tied to health transformation.
Hearing from health care practitioners provides valuable insight to UT Austin students exploring career options. Dell Med hosts an on-campus seminar every Friday of the spring semester at 2 p.m. in Mezes Hall, Room 1.306.
Each summer, middle and high school students from across Central Texas spend two weeks at The University of Texas at Austin learning about a variety of health professions through hands-on activities.
Undergraduate students are eligible for this experience focused on cancer-related research. Fellows come from universities across the U.S. to spend ten weeks in laboratories at the Dell Medical School and UT Austin.
UT Austin graduate and undergraduate students as well as recent grads can gain experience in technology commercialization, entrepreneurship and more through this semester-long position.
