MEDICAL APPLICATIONS OF SCIENCE FOR HEALTH

 

The Medical Applications of Science for Health (M*A*S*H) Program is a two-week summer camp to introduce high school students to health skills and professions. During the program students learn basic CPR and first aid, casting and suturing, learn about physical assessment, medical terminology and much, much more. UAMS AHEC-SW hosts two programs – one in Texarkana at UAMS AHEC-SW and the other in Nashville, AR, at Howard Memorial Hospital. Applications for the program are mailed each January to area high school counselors and science teachers. In addition, staff members provide presentations at area high schools about the program to recruit students.

The program is for students currently in grades 9-11 who have a minimum 3.0 GPA and one science/one math class with a “B” average to apply. Teacher and counselor recommendations are required (mailed with student applications). M*A*S*H is sponsored state-wide by
UAMS and the Arkansas Farm Bureau
. Locally, M*A*S*H receives support from Century Bank in Texarkana, CHRISTUS St. Michael Health System, Wadley Health System, Capital One Bank in Texarkana, Diamond Bank in Nashville and Howard Memorial Hospital in Nashville.
