The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) is offering a virtual summer enrichment program for high school sophomores, juniors and seniors through its regional campuses.
This virtual program is aimed at high schoolers interested in learning more about health care field careers.
During the three-day program, participants will meet health care professionals in a variety of fields, take virtual tours of UAMS medical facilities and participate in hands-on activities. The program will be offered twice: from June 29 to July 1 and from July 13 to July 15, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant barriers for our recruitment specialists, who have been unable to conduct their usual face-to-face activities such as A Day in the Life, Community Health Applied in Medical Public Service (CHAMPS), Medical Applications of Science for Health (M*A*S*H), and many other programs targeting young Arkansans, each of which help ensure a continuous, robust health care workforce,” program director Marcia Byers, Ph.D., RN, said in a statement. “The Find Your Future in Health Care events demonstrate our continued dedication to this mission and are the first of many activities that will be offered virtually, or through hybrid approaches, moving forward.”
Registration is open now through April 2. To learn more or to register, click here.
