SUMMER OPPORTUNITY!


MEDCAMP provides a unique opportunity for those students who are between their 8th grade and freshman year in high school to spend two-and-a-half days at Northeast Ohio Medical University.  Selected students will be working with practicing physicians, professors of microbiology, anatomy, neurobiology, physiology, and pharmacy as well as students of medicine and pharmacy.  They learn how a physician talks with a patient, how to study the clues to a patient’s illness and how to solve the case by using critical thinking skills in addition to modern laboratory techniques.   Evenings are used for group activities and study sessions. Library research is required for the students to prepare their diagnosis and report of the “patient.”  Meals are provided for the students while at NEOMED. Accompanied by chaperones from NEOMED, students are transported by bus to a Kent State University residence hall for overnight accommodations.
 
First consideration is given to applicants from groups underrepresented in health care professions, although any current 8th grade student may apply.  The cost for this experience is $125.00, although tuition waivers are available.
 
Please pass this information on to a guidance counselor, science, math, or gifted educator in your school.  Applications are due by April 15, 2016. 

MEDCAMP 2016 will be held at NEOMED from July 21-23, 2016!

Focus

Do you have trouble focusing? Here is a fun tip that ANYONE can use, at ANY TIME! All you need is a pen and 1 minute! Step 1: Find a pen or pencil. Step 2: Hold it up to your face, about 1 foot away. Step 3: Focus on the end of the pencil for 1 minute (setting a timer will help you to avoid being distracted). For this one minute of time, do not allow yourself to think about anything else! Just focus on the end of the pencil! This would be great to try before beginning your homework, studying, at the beginning of a big game or race, anytime! I would love to know what everyone thinks of this. I will be trying it also:) I challenge you to use this trick at least once this week! (It might be good to try this before or during the Math & Science testing:) One Minute Life Hack Will Make You Do Everything Better!
