Early Dedication to Medical Education
Early Dedication to Medical Education (EDME) is an outreach program designed to expose individuals to the possibility of a career in medicine. Anyone interested in becoming a physician is welcome.
EDME sessions are hosted at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ) throughout the school year. These sessions include monthly presentations on different topics designed to help participants along their journey to medicine.
It’s easy! Just come to any of the sessions – they’re open to all high school students, parents, teachers, counselors, college students, administrators, and anyone who has an interest in medicine. You may also e-mail our office at SOMADM@ttuhsc.edu
EDME sessions will be held from 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM on the dates below. Sessions will be held in-person at Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ and virtually on Zoom. Please view each session below individually for registration and details.
