Little Medical School 1 – Tools, Heart, Lungs & More
All kids love to dress up and play doctor. This fun, fascinating and thoroughly educational program lets them take it to a whole other level. Over six hours of interactive instruction, kids will have a chance to learn about and use common doctor’s tools, how air flows through the lungs, what happens to food when we eat and how the heart works. They’ll even get to listen to a heartbeat using their own personal working stethoscope, which they get to take home at the end of the course!
This course was designed by a team of board-certified physicians and is led by a trained and background-checked instructor passionate about sharing their medical knowledge with young and aspiring “doctors to be.” When your child receives his or her diploma on graduation day, they’ll beam with pride and be ready to teach you everything they’ve learned.
