A rare opportunity for students to explore healthcare careers through training, volunteer service, and mentorship. Our Omega Leo Medical Explorer Post 4077 is a “Volunteer Medical First-Aid Organization” staffed by well trained pre-health students.
We're an innovation in the preparation of future health professionals, only available at Texas State University (so far), providing rare opportunities in experiential learning for pre-health and other students seeking careers in healthcare or biomedial technology.
Our first meeting for the 2026 Fall Semester was an exciting sucess. It began with a Welcome Message from our advisor, Dr. Johnson.
Next was an introduction of our officers and liaisons. New members were surprised at the number of officers and liaisons necessary to manage all that we do.
Next came five patient senarios where new members were introduced to the first-aid emergency supplies we carry.
