Prairie Doc Assistantship
This group of pre-professional students volunteer their time each week to answer the viewers’ calls during On Call with the Prairie Doc. Additionally, some of the students help research show topics. Before each show, the students meet with the guest physicians and have a chance to ask questions about the various medical sub-specialties. Every year, we take these students on a medical mission trip to a foreign country. We also try to arrange other events throughout the year to expand their knowledge of the medical field and help them grow in professionalism as they prepare for whatever their career may be.
