Southwest Idaho AHEC
“I have been in every single Doctor for a Day session since I became a high school student. I enjoy it every single time and always look forward to the next one. I have made many friends, and decisions about my future healthcare career. I will be devastated if this event ever goes away! I love it, and the people who make it possible!”
