Students from around North Texas got a front row seat to some of the other medical careers available as a profession.
It's no secret that doctors' and nurses' work can be gross, but it goes a step further in a Dallas classroom.
"I didn't realize how important it was to document every single little thing," said Bryce Wickham from Keller ISD.He wanted to be an anesthesiologist but saw how a different type of medical team worked to examine everything in one body and how it could keep someone alive. Students from across Texas spent time at the Southwest Transplant Alliance learning about organ donation, how it works, and how this often overlooked side of medicine can make a huge difference in saving lives."It's fun. They ask a lot of questions. And I just love that they are a part of it," said Jocelyn Phillips of Southwest Transplant Alliance.
