M*A*S*H*, or Medical Applications of Science for Health, is a two-week summer camp that introduces high school students who are currently in the 10th or 11th grade to health careers. Students selected into the M*A*S*H* program will shadow in a variety of health care locations, learn medical terminology, take part in hands on activities to learn medical procedures. Students also take part in team building activities, heart dissection and suturing, proper wrapping techniques and casting, as well as learning about a variety of health careers and education levels needed for different careers. It’s too much to list, but we cover a lot over these two weeks!
Students accepted are required to attend Monday-Friday, 8-3 pm. Lunch is provided. IMPORTANT! Please notify the M*A*S*H Director of any food allergies or other dietary restrictions, if accepted. This program is located at AMMC in Paragould. We are housed in the professional office building of the hospital. We do not provide transportation or housing for this program. Students selected should make arrangements for their own transportation.
This is a FREE program for students, thanks to community donations, support from the M*A*S*H Partnership and a grant from the Blue & You Foundation.
Applications are available in the counseling office. The deadline to apply is March 13, 2020.
