Health Students Teaching Memphis Youth

Health Students Teaching Memphis Youth (HSTMY) is a student-run, interprofessional organization that educates local elementary and middle school students about various aspects of health, from nutrition to mental and physical wellness to safety. The purpose of our organization is to improve the health literacy and health habits of Memphis youth, to teach young students about the field of medicine, and to hopefully inspire children to become our next generation of healthcare professionals. To accomplish our goals, a group of 4-5 medical, pharmacy and nursing students visit local schools or after-school programs to teach a lesson on a health topic and talk about the field of medicine.
