ER at Blue Diamond, an Extension of Spring Valley Medical Center, is proud to host Junior Docs, a one-hour event designed to introduce children ages 8 to 11 to the medical field, on August 1, 2024, from 9 to 10 a.m. at 9217 S. Cimarron Road (cross street Blue Diamond).

Created by Las Vegas resident Kamalisha Green, the Junior Docs experience includes a Junior Docs Lab featuring Grabby Germs and Learning about the Emergency department:

  • Meet an ER doctor and ER nurse
  • ER tour
  • Refreshments and gift

Registration is required and is open to the first 16 students by contacting: Juniordocsprogram@gmail.com

If you need to cancel, please email Juniordocsprogram@gmail.com so another child can participate.

Green developed the collaborative program to help area students explore the many aspects of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) and building science sense and confidence.

“We’re excited to host Junior Docs at our location,” said Jim Holtz, manager of ER at Blue Diamond. “There are so many opportunities in the medical field, whether it’s nursing, imaging, laboratory medical technician or an emergency medicine physician, and we’re looking forward to introducing the new generation to the possibilities.”
