MASH Program

The annual Medical Applications of Science for Health camp is hosted at Howard Memorial Hospital in Nashville. The camp allows high school juniors and seniors to shadow health professionals and attend workshops that enhance their experience in the health care field.

M*A*S*H*, or Medical Applications of Science for Health, is a two-week summer camp that introduces high school students who are currently in the 10th or 11th grade to health careers. Students selected into the M*A*S*H* program will shadow in a variety of health care locations, learn medical terminology, take part in hands on activities to learn medical procedures, tour the UAMS Little Rock campus, as well as a tour of many of our local healthcare businesses: Veterinary clinic, Dentist Office, Surgery, Emergency Department, and Physical Therapy Departments to name a few. Students also take part in team building activities, heart dissection and suturing, proper wrapping techniques and casting, as well as learning about a variety of health careers and education levels needed for different careers. It’s too much to list, but we cover a lot over these two weeks!

Students accepted are required to attend Monday-Friday, 8-4 pm. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are provided.
