8th Graders Go
to Medical School
Special to The Truth
Thirty four soon-to-be northwest Ohio high school freshmen
will experience what it’s really like to be a physician at
UT’s CampMed on Thursday, June 19 and Friday, June 20.
CampMed is a two-day intensive program that offers up-close
and hands-on activities including laboratory sessions and
medical practices. The competitive program required the
students to submit a letter of
recommendation, a personal essay and a nomination
from a math or science teacher or a school counselor.
The students will be guided by medical students and
participate in numerous lectures and activities including
anatomy, histology, clinical skills, orthopedics, and
surgery.
There are some great opportunities for video and pictures on
Thursday, June 19. The first session is called “Tools of the
Trade” at from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. in the Health and
Education Building , Room 100. Another good opportunity
would be when the students are rotating through three labs
from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. The labs will introduce the students
to the rehab unit, histology, ER trauma room and Life
Flight.
Friday, June 20, also offers opportunities for pictures and
video during a lab session from 1 to 4 p.m. Friday’s labs
will introduce the students to “Clinical Skills/Standardized
Patient” where students will interact with standardized
patients, the “Preoperative Experience” where students will
learn about preoperative procedures and dress in
surgical gowns and
orthopedics where students will learn techniques like
casting methods.
CampMed students will be staying on the UT Health Science
Campus at the Hilton Hotel.
