FREE Health Careers Summer Camp

Applications are now LIVE for the 2019 Health Careers Summer Camp. This residential camp will be held June 23rd – 26th in Asheville with students housed at UNCA. There will be daily workshops, networking opportunities and presentations at UNCA and MAHEC centered on healthcare careers. This camp is for rising juniors and seniors.

Students will experience MAHEC’s new State-of-the-Art Simulation Center and deliver a baby, practice CPR and intubation, push medications, monitor “real” patients, and MORE! They will shadow in MAHEC Family Medicine, Ob/Gyn and/or Sports Medicine. They will see REAL patients and work with REAL physicians. They will dissect a heart with an experienced Cardiac Care practitioner. We will have local physicians, residents and professional students meet with our high schoolers to discuss their own career path and the beauties of practicing medicine in Western North Carolina. We will have fun activities for students in the evening, including swimming, games, a night at the Trampoline Park, AND MORE!

The best part—It’s all FREE! There is no cost to the student to attend this camp.
