MultiCare Academy for Students in Healthcare
Since 2004, local high school students have come together to learn about the variety of health care professions and what it’s like to work in a hospital. M.A.S.H. Camp was developed to encourage, inspire and support students considering nursing or allied health professions, such as pharmacy, radiology and physical therapy.
What to expect
As a participant in M.A.S.H. Camp you’ll join medical professionals from various disciplines, those caring for patients and individuals who work in our non-clinical areas. Some of the clinical and non-clinical service areas you will learn about include emergency departments, intensive care unit (adult and pediatric), cancer center, labor and delivery, pediatric care, adult surgical care, information systems and technology, human potential, and a variety of leadership roles.
You will also participate in hands-on station rotations, mock codes and even visit local colleges and universities. Through the program, you will get a firsthand, behind-the-scenes look at the multifaceted world of health care.
