The UAMS Northwest Regional Campus recently hosted an engaging workshop focused on the kidneys and kidney transplantation for ninth graders from four area school districts.
The workshop was co-led by Dr. Kevin Phelan, Professor of Neuroscience, and transplant surgeon Dr. John Montgomery, Assistant Professor of Surgery.
Dr. Phelan is Program Director of the NIAID-funded AR Tech DaSH (Arkansas Technology and Data Science in Health & Medicine) R25 grant, which funded the workshop.
Thanks also to medical student volunteers Cade Richesin (M1) and Chloe Cline (M3), along with Education Coordinators Ana Sanchez and Sandra Perez.
Eighteen students participated in a full day of hands-on activities.
