Frequently Asked Questions
This is a focused, half-day "power session" running from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, perfect for keeping students engaged without the summer "burnout."
Since we’ll be in a lab environment, we recommend comfortable, closed-toe shoes and clothes that are easy to move in.
Space is limited to ensure a high-quality experience for every student. We recommend registering early!
While every year is different, students typically engage in activities like suturing clinics, CPR demos, medical imaging tours, and simulated patient care.
Not at all! This camp is designed for discovery. All you need is curiosity and a desire to learn.
