Northeast Oregon Area Health Education Center has teamed up with Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) and Oregon regional AHEC offices to bring A Day in the Life (ADITL) program to university and community college students interested in furthering their health career education.

ADITL provides college students with a unique and exciting opportunity to experience a graduate school program for a day. Participants will attend a lecture, meet actual students through a panel discussion, tour the facilities, and see what life as a student is like on the campus of Oregon Health & Science University. Students will also have the opportunity to receive individual counseling with admissions personnel and experience a clinical setting through the OHSU simulation lab. This year, participating programs include the Nurse Anesthetist school, Physician's Assistant school, Pharmacy school, Medical school and Dental school. University or Community College students from rural areas interested in graduate programs in health care are eligible to apply.

This event is FREE to participants!
