From Thursday, July 7, through Saturday, July 9, a group of undergraduate students will gather on our campus to participate in the 31st year of the MEDCAMP program.
MEDCAMP is designed to provide hands-on experiences in bio-medical science workshops involving research, clinical problem-solving and an introduction to the fields of clinical medicine.
Participants join physicians, NEOMED medicine students, faculty and researchers in performing applied activities, where they learn how a physician talks with a patient, how to study the clues to a patient’s illness, to solve medical cases by using critical thinking skills in addition to learning modern laboratory techniques.
Participants also complete a case study on a fictitious patient.
If you would like more information about the MEDCAMP program, please contact Rebecca Johnson at rjohnson4@neomed.edu.
MEDCAMP is sponsored by the Area Health Education Center located in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at NEOMED.
