Travis— a recent immigrant from Guyana— is a junior at the Academy of Environmental Science High School. He is also well on his way to becoming an expert on human anatomy thanks to the Science Intensive Program, which is operated by the East Harlem Tutorial Program (EHTP) in cooperation with the Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine.  Travis and his fellow OST participants meet weekly at Touro and learn about human anatomy in both the classroom and the lab, where they work on project-based activities.  The classes are taught by Touro medical students, and every week an OST participant gives a PowerPoint presentation on the previous week’s lesson.  Travis impressed everyone with an outstanding presentation on the damaging effects of drugs and alcohol.
