ASU to host summer camp for high school students interested in health careers

This summer, high school students can find out what it’s like to be a member of a health care team at the 2015 Summer Health Institute @ ASU, hosted by Arizona State University’s College of Health Solutions.

The Summer Health Institute @ ASU is for students who are currently in the 11th grade that have indicated an interest in health/health care and ASU. During the institute, students will be able to experience a variety of health-related activities, including three hours daily of health care simulations, such as suturing, IVs and intubation, at the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix campus. They will also spend time interacting with professional health care providers and touring local health care centers.

Due to the popularity of last year’s institute, ASU will be hosting two sessions from which participants may choose to apply. Session 1 runs July 5-11 and Session 2 runs July 12-18. Both are at ASU’s Downtown Phoenix campus.

Participants will stay in Taylor Place residence hall during the institute. The deadline to apply is March 30, 2015 and the program is open to both residents and non-residents of Arizona. Twenty four students per session will be selected. Full to partial sholarships may be available.
