Bradley County Medical Center - M*A*S*H Camp

What is it?

M*A*S*H (Medical Applications of Science for Health) Camp is a free, one-week summer enrichment program that allows rising high school juniors and seniors to shadow health professionals and attend workshops that enhance their experience in the health care field. M*A*S*H students participate in dissections, casting, suturing, intubation and ventilation, CPR training, job shadowing and much more. The program is sponsored state-wide by the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) and the Arkansas Farm Bureau Federation.

Who is it for?

High school students in 10th or 11th grade that meet program requirements.

Why do they do it?

Introducing area youth to careers in health care is crucial to reducing the shortages that have affected the family-practice physician and nursing professions.
