MEDCAMP is a three-day intensive immersion experience held in the summer, designed to stimulate students’ interests in the sciences related to medicine and to expose them to opportunities in those fields. The program provides “hands-on” experiences in biomedical science workshops involving research, clinical problem-solving and an introduction to the fields of clinical medicine.
We would like to once again extend an invitation for your graduating seniors to apply! Because MEDCAMP is virtual we are offering those who are accepted a stipend of $150!
Interested seniors may apply online by visiting http://www.neomed.edu/medcamp. Applications are due by April 30, 2021 and you will be notified of your acceptance by June 4, 2021.
