Mercy Berryville to host Mini-MASH camp for high school students June 1-5

Posted

Arkansas high school students can get handson health care experiences such as suturing workshops, field trips, CPR training and heart dissection at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences MASH camps across the state this summer — including mini-camp at Mercy Hospital in Berryville.

Medical Applications of Science for Health camps are a free, twoweek program for rising high school juniors and seniors where they can explore team-building exercises, visit health care settings, learn at various workshops, and even shadow health care professionals. Mini-MASH camps are another option with camps that last only one week.

Applicants must be entering the 11th or 12th grade and must have completed a biology class. They will be selected based on recommendation letters; academic, athletic or other achievements and awards; extracurricular activities; leadership and service in school and the community; and a personal essay describing the student’s desire to attend the camp and pursue a career in health care.

The Mini-MASH camp at Mercy Berryville will be held from June 1-5. The application deadline is March 31. Apply online at https://formstack.io/ E15C0.

The MASH program is made possible thanks to a long-term partnership with Arkansas Farm Bureau. In 2023, the organization pledged a five-year, $500,000 gift to create the Farm Bureau Fund for Excellence, which supports health career recruitment programs for Arkansas students.
