About a dozen young people, ages 11 to 14, gathered in Fred Hampton’s social room at Proviso East High School in Maywood on July 23 to get a sense of what it’s like to study medicine.
The young participants were given real stethoscopes and learned about the human heart, skin, blood, digestion, disease and surgical techniques.
The first “Little Medical School” was free to participants and sponsored by Maywood Safe Summer, a summer youth activity program started by Maywood Trustee Isiah Brandon.
