EXPLORING CAREERS IN HEALTHCARE AT MESSIAH UNIVERSITY - Designed for students to actively explore a variety of healthcare professions -- from nursing to physical therapy, occupational therapy, athletic training, laboratory sciences, and a host of professions stemming from applied health sciences. Often students know less about these fields than about traditional health professions such as medicine and dentistry. Expert faculty and practitioners will guide students through hands-on activites and demonstrations in our state-of-the-art facilities using patient case studies for context while helping students understand how all the healthcare professions work together to promote and restore good health. Our goal is to help students discover how their interests and skills match one or more healthcare career paths and what their next steps should be to move in that direction. This camp is held June 8-10, 2026.
