The public health and medical students at Wayne State University are learning to become future doctors and researchers every day of the week, except for Tuesday mornings. As part of the federally-funded Bridges to Equity program, designed to implement educational programming and engage medical and public health students with community-based projects, WSU students provide health education to Detroit Public Schools students every Tuesday at Meet Up & Eat Up with the Lions and Ford at Detroit's Eastern Market. "Our students are very excited to share the things they are learning in graduate school with young people," said Wayne State University School of Medicine MPH Practicum director Dana Rice. "They are learning how to communicate to a younger audience, and ultimately they are giving back to the next generation of Detroiters. I honestly think they gain as much from their participation as the kids do."
