Discovery Day

All dates for the 2025–2026 academic year are currently at capacity. Information and dates for the 2026-2027 academic year will be posted to this website in July 2026.

Discovery Day is a single-site, rotation-based event showcasing several academic schools, programs, centers and departments on the Jackson campus of The University of Mississippi Medical Center.

Discovery Day is designed to expose high school (10^th, 11^th and 12^th grade) and undergraduate student groups to health care and research careers and the educational programs that lead to those careers. 

Discovery Day is held in the Norman C. Nelson Student Union, located on the east side of the main campus.

There are a limited number of event days and group slots for each event day. We appreciate your patience as we work to match groups with their preferred dates and accommodate the most student groups possible during the academic year.

We are excited to host high school and undergraduate student groups from across the region for this career discovery and exploration event during the 2025-2026 academic year! All dates for the 2025–2026 academic year are currently at capacity. Information and dates for the 2026-2027 academic year will be posted to this website in July 2026.  

Thank you for your interest in participating in Discovery Day.
