Rising High School 11th and 12th Grade + Rising College Freshmen

Discovery MedCamp - a program of Southeast Alabama AHECInterested in a healthcare career and not sure which one is for you? Now is the time to apply for Discovery MedCamp! Participants will examine and explore the multi-faceted world of healthcare careers alongside current health professions students and faculty in a four-day overnight experience on the campus of Auburn University (AU).

Hosted by The Bridge Center for Health Education and led by the AU Inter-professional Education (IPE) faculty team, participants will investigate nine different health care career options: Osteopathic Medicine, Nursing, Social Work, Speech Language Pathology, Audiology, Pharmacy, Dietetics, Clinical Laboratory Sciences, and Emergency Medical Technician. Participants will also tour the labs and go behind the scenes at East Alabama Medical Center for an up-close look at the real world of medicine.

The purpose of Discovery MedCamp is to empower students with the experience and knowledge needed to make better informed decisions about their future careers. After a week of immersion into a variety of disciplines, you will come away with a deeper understanding of what it means to work in each area - and if that choice is best for you!

Please note that this camp opportunity is only available to Alabama residents.
