Magnolia Regional Medical Center has announced that applications for the 2020 M*A*S*H Program are now available. Magnolia's seventh annual M*A*S*H Camp (Medical Applications of Science for Health) will be held June 8-19, 2020 at Magnolia Regional Medical Center.
During this two-week summer day camp, students complete certification in Basic First Aid and CPR and learn the importance of healthy lifestyle habits. Reinforcement of the connection between the basic sciences and medical diagnosis and treatment occurs through lectures, labs, hands-on activities, facility tours, clinical interaction and job shadowing. Exposure to different health professions is an integral part of the M*A*S*H experience. Students learn to identify various health care disciplines, what they do, how they relate to one another and how the fundamentals of anatomy, biology, pharmacology and physiology apply to each discipline. Program evaluations indicate that because of M*A*S*H, participants are more likely to pursue health careers, primary care, and practice in rural or underserved areas.
