in the School of Nursing
Description: Medical Breakaway offers students a chance to visit medically underserved areas. Most recently, trips have been to Wendover, KY, home of the Frontier Nursing Service. During spring break, School of Medicine students shadow doctors, nurse practitioners, and home health aides. Students also participate in community service projects at the local elementary school and at the Frontier Nursing Service. At the elementary school, students teach children about nutrition, smoking education, and college interest.
As of 2008, Medical Breakaway has expanded their services to daycares and nursing homes.
Medical Breakaway encourages student participation from other UMB schools.
