Exploring the World of Medicine; Discovery Center Museum Hosts Junior Doctor Day Event: Calling all future doctors! Discovery Center Museum is thrilled to announce Junior Doctor Day, an exciting event designed to inspire and educate young minds about the wonders of medicine and healthcare. The event will take place Saturday, May 11 from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm at Discovery Center. Junior Doctor Day invites children and families to scrub in for a day filled with medical marvels and playful learning. Hosted in collaboration with medical students from the University of Illinois College of Medicine Rockford, this event promises a fascinating journey for children into the world of healthcare. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a variety of hands-on activities, including listening to the rhythm of their own heartbeat, testing lightning-fast reflexes, and exploring the fascinating world of organs. From assembling a petri dish to unraveling the mysteries of medical science, Junior Doctor Day offers a prescription for fun and a chance to ignite a passion for medicine. “We are excited to host Junior Doctor Day,” said Heidi Holcomb, Manager of Community Partnerships at Discovery Center Museum. “This event provides a unique opportunity for children to get a glimpse into the world of medicine, all while having fun with interactive and educational activities.” Admission to the event is included with general museum admission: $10 Public; free for Museum Members and all children ages one and younger.
