2016 BCMC MASH CAMP DATES ANNOUNCED
Medical Applications of Science for Health (MASH) camp is an excellent summer enrichment program sponsored state-wide by UAMS and the Arkansas Farm Bureau Federation that allows rising high school juniors and seniors to shadow health professionals and attend workshops that enhance their experience in the health care field. MASH students participate in dissections, casting, suturing, intubation and ventilation, CPR training, job-shadowing, a UAMS tour, and much, much more. Students that participate in the MASH camp will also be introduced to the regional UAMS Pre-Health Recruiting Specialist. The recruiting specialist will be able to offer professional support to the student as they prepare for entry to college and will continue to work with them for entry into professional programs.
Bradley County Medical Center is excited to announce that their third annual camp will be extended to two weeks and will be held July 11-22, 2016. Student eligibility requirements, along with applications and instructions for submission, will be made available at www.bradleycountymedicalcenter.com. Applications must be received May 2, 2016.
To make sure the program is accessible to all students, there is not cost for the student to participate. The program is entirely funded through donations. The individuals assisting in the operation of the program are all volunteering their time or are employees of Bradley County Medical Center as part of the hospital's support of the program. All donations go directly to purchase the materials necessary to present the program. In addition to purchasing supplies needed for each student to participate at hands-on skills stations, the hospital will utilize funds received from donations to provide all participants with program t-shirts, scrub pants, meals, and snacks. In lieu of monetary donations; sponsored meals, canned drinks, bottled water, snacks, etc. are gratefully accepted. For additional information about the BCMC camp or to inquire about making a donation, contact Tiffany Holland at tholland@bcmed.org or (870) 226-4304.
