Preparing students for professional education
“To study the phenomena of disease without books is to sail an uncharted sea, while to study books without patients is not to go to sea at all.” — William Osler
What is MEDCAMP?
MEDCAMP is a three-day immersive experience designed to stimulate students’ interests in the basic sciences and medicine and to expose them to career opportunities in those fields. The program provides a “hands on” experience through biomedical science workshops involving research, clinical problem-solving and an introduction to the field of clinical medicine.
For
Students 18 years and older who have graduated high school and are enrolled at a college or university.
Program dates
July 11-13, 2024
Cost

Activities and housing
In a simulated clinical setting, participants diagnose a fictitious patient. They interact with subject matter experts and participate in laboratory activities to arrive at the diagnosis. In doing so, they learn the importance of collaborating effectively as an interprofessional team to deliver comprehensive patient care.
Eligibility & application
The MEDCAMP program is accepting applications from highly motivated students 18 years and older who have graduated high school and are enrolled at a college or university. *First consideration is given to applicants from groups underrepresented in health care professions.
