A.T. Still University in Mesa to host health sciences event for high school students

A.T. Still University’s Dreamline Pathways Program will host students from Tolleson Union, The Academies at South Mountain and Williams Field high schools for a series of immersive health sciences experiences Dec. 3.

More than 100 high school students will visit ATSU’s Mesa campus 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 5850 E. Still Circle, to work with medical students from ATSU’s School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona and speech-language pathology, physician assistant and physical therapy students from ATSU’s-Arizona School of Health Sciences, according to a release.

ATSU’s Dreamline Pathways provides hands-on, immersive learning experiences, exposing students to various health care professions. Students step into the shoes of practitioners to gain insights into the collaborative nature of health care teams.

Each immersion activity is designed to go beyond traditional classroom learning, allowing students to experience the real impact of health care professions and inspire them to envision their own future roles. The students also engage directly with ATSU faculty, staff and students to discuss their academic journeys and potential professional pathways.
