Our Medical Magnet Program
Our Medical Program
At Dunbar Elementary Medical Magnet, our students explore the exciting world of medicine through hands-on learning, real-world experiences, and partnerships with local medical professionals! Our unique K–5 Medical Magnet Program builds on students' knowledge each year as they explore the human body, health, wellness, and medical careers.
From learning about the five senses in kindergarten and performing teddy bear surgeries in first grade to exploring body systems, practicing CPR, and participating in our fifth-grade White Coat Ceremony, students experience medicine in engaging, age-appropriate ways.
Through partnerships with organizations such as Tampa General Hospital, USF Health, and other community medical professionals, students connect classroom learning to real-world careers. Each grade level completes exciting medical projects and activities, helping students develop curiosity, critical thinking, and a passion for science.
At Dunbar, we're not just teaching students about medicine—we're inspiring the next generation of doctors, nurses, scientists, and healthcare leaders!
