The goal of Teen Health Camp is to expose students to the countless possibilities in the health field and to introduce them to student and professionals within that field. During this one-day event, students will participate in various workshops such as suturing, casting, public health outbreak, nutrition, as well as other activities showcasing health programs. We’ll also have a “speed dating” activity where students can ask healthcare workers about their professions and graduate students about their areas of scholarship.
