Friday students from the high school who aspire to join the medical field, visited Tomorrow's Health Care Experts Expo hosted by MU Health Care. Mrs. Utterback organized this opportunity for the kids. They learned from amazing hands-on experiences and found out what level of education some roles in the medical field require versus others.
