CampMed, the annual summer camp for high school students interested in a health-care career, is being offered virtually again for a second summer by the Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM). Registrations are now open online at the NOSM website.
NOSM said the 2021 version of CampMed will again be presented entirely online, as it was last summer. This year's version takes place from July 12 to July 23, said the NOSM news release.
"NOSM’s 16th annual summer camp is designed for high-school students interested in a career in health care. CampMed focuses on four core learning areas: interprofessionalism, leadership, culture, and clinical skills. The experience provides Northern youth with an opportunity to explore a variety of health-care careers and be mentored by post-secondary students," said the release.
NOSM said the 2021 version of CampMed will feature a team of 27 university student volunteers, along with staff, faculty and learners from the medical school. Sessions will include CSI, immunology and virology, medical imaging, Francophone and Indigenous health and culture, and much more, said NOSM.
CampMed is open to all Northern Ontario high school students in grades nine through twelve. Students must have completed grade nine to register. Pre-registration is required and there is no cost to participate. Register at nosm.ca/campmed.
For information on CampMed, students are asked to contact NOSM’s Office of Admissions and Learner Recruitment toll-free at 1-800-461-8777 or by email to [email protected].
