HOP is a project carried out by Health Sciences students that seeks to minimize the fear and anxiety that the healthcare world generates in children. Therefore, activities are held in schools where, through six stations, different healthcare aspects are covered, such as medical history taking, nutrition and oral hygiene, antibiotics and vaccines, bandages, X-rays, and operating rooms. During the session, children are introduced to the healthcare world through stuffed animals and role-playing, where they themselves assume the role of a professional, always accompanied by the instructors who coordinate the activity.
