The Permian Basin AHEC offers a four-day camp experience each summer for high school students who are interested in health careers. Summer camp participants shadow various health professionals for a more intensive look at the day-to-day work of health care. Students also tour area colleges and health care facilities, as well as participate in workshops that include CPR certification, learning about the college application and financial aid process, and learning how to develop a resume and interviewing skills.

Through the Health Careers Summer Camp, students have a chance to learn more about themselves and to see which health career opportunities are a good fit for them.

Students reside in the dormitory of an area campground for the duration of the camp. Camp costs are $50, and scholarships are available.

The deadline for completing camp applications is May 14, 2010.
