The OU Health Sciences Explorer, also known as the Mobile Outreach Vehicle (MOV), provides high-quality health and STEM exposure to K-12 and community members in tribal, rural, and medically underserved communities. Our goal is to inspire the next generation of healthcare professionals and to share information about the journey from secondary education to professional education.
The Health Sciences Explorer serves as a classroom for hands-on learning demonstrations. Students come aboard to conduct science experiments, engage with anatomical models, and use real medical equipment, such as otoscopes, microscopes, and ultrasounds, under the guidance of healthcare professionals.
The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center is prioritizing K-12 outreach to underrepresented groups within the healthcare profession with the goal of strengthening and broadening Oklahoma’s healthcare workforce.
The Health Sciences Explorer inspires students from all backgrounds to consider a career path in STEM, and it’s coming to a community near you!
