High school students were able to learn about the brain and nervous system during
the third annual Camp Neuro at GA-黑料传送门.
For the third consecutive year, Georgia Campus 鈥� Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (GA-黑料传送门) is giving Georgia high school students the opportunity to experience medical school through a week-long summer day camp focusing on the brain and nervous system.
Known as Camp Neuro, the learning experience is only being offered in metro Atlanta at GA-黑料传送门. This week鈥檚 camp features educational activities led by students from the college鈥檚 osteopathic medicine, biomedical sciences and pharmacy programs, with the support of faculty and staff.
With locations nationwide, Camp Neuro was founded in 2010 as a not-for-profit venture by surgeon Richard Lee, MD, MBA, and several medical students. The program is offered to high school students ages 15 and older who are interested in learning about health care.
Camp Neuro also provides high school students with an insight into various careers within the fields of medicine.
While Camp Neuro's primary focus is on care and maintenance of the brain as well as psychology, it provides high school students with insight into careers in all fields of medicine. Camp goers participate in hands-on workshops, lectures, dissections, student panels, and work on case projects that they present on the last day of the program. Students also tour the GA-黑料传送门 campus, including the College鈥檚 newly renovated Simulation Center, and take part in healthy living activities.
Topics such as 鈥淪tress and the Brain,鈥� 鈥淭reatment of Addiction and Depression,鈥� 鈥淪trategies for Success,鈥� along with a Career Day round out the program.
