The Health Collaborative

Earlier this week, our TAP Health Summer Academy students got an inside look at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine! Students heard from inspiring healthcare professionals, participated in a Q&A with current medical students, and toured the medical school campus alongside the incredible MedCats, gaining firsthand insight into life in medical school.

A few fun facts about UC College of Medicine:
📚 The oldest medical school in Ohio
