NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A summer program created by Meharry Medical College to expose minority high schoolers to careers in healthcare will launch July 2.
A field trip to Tennessee Donor Services is one of Meharry’s efforts to improve racial and ethnic representation among medical professionals to address disparities in healthcare.
Only 5 percent of U.S. doctors are Black.
On July 2, the students will visit TDS to learn about career opportunities within the organ donation field.
It includes touring TDS organ and tissue donation facilities, speaking with local organ donor families and hearing from TDS staff about the power of a career in organ donation.
You'll love her and you'll love to hate her! Meet Trashley: the bad girl of Nashville littering. She stars in a new campaign that's a throwback to an anti-litter movement from years past. Her role has been reimagined by NDOT as a fast-paced, Dukes of Hazzard-style wrecking ball of a lady. You'll find yourself cracking up as you meet the actress behind Trashley and hear how she landed the role of Queen of Trash.
