MD Camp 2021 at The Ohio State University College of Medicine
MD Camp, sponsored by the Area Health Education Center at The Ohio State University, is looking for applicants for our 2021 MD Summer Camp cohort! MD Camp is a three-week summer camp designed to inspire students interested in pursuing a career in the health professions, including medicine, biomedical research, and more!
MD Camp is a great opportunity for rising high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors who might benefit from the intellectual challenge, academic and social development, and overall experience that it provides. It is an incredible chance for students to get an early firsthand look at health careers they might want to pursue. Ultimately, MD Camp strives to increase the number of physicians from backgrounds or areas that are underrepresented in healthcare. All students may apply; we encourage students who are considered traditionally underrepresented in medicine and traditionally underserved which can include women and individuals from social-economic and/or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds. Scholarships are available.
We are currently planning for both in-person and remote camp, depending on the status of COVID 19 by this summer. Our top priority is ensuring the safety of our campers and their families. For this reason, the cost of camp will depend on if camp is in-person or remote. We encourage everyone who is interested to apply, as we offer a multitude of scholarships. Please reach out to us if the cost of attending camp is a concern, as we are happy to offer help in any way that we can.

The Lancer Lab Homework Club is set up for students that would like extra support and time to complete assignments for classes. The requirements are few: it is not a social gathering, students must come ready and prepared to work on assignments, there is no transportation provided (students must arrange for pickup at the end of the lab session). Students meet in Rooms 120 and 121 (if the size grows, we will need to change the meeting location to accommodate social distancing protocols)

Helping Kids Understand the Riots at the Capitol
From our friends at the Child Mind Institute.
To help adults process their own feelings and communicate effectively and compassionately with young people, we’ve prepared a piece on “Helping Kids Understand the Riots at the Capitol.” Some top takeaways:
- For younger kids, stay calm and emphasize that they’re safe, even if what they’re seeing is scary.
- For school-age kids, give kids a chance to tell you what they saw and ask questions.
- For teenagers and young adults, discuss appropriate ways to channel their emotions and fight for what they believe in.
- For kids of all ages, use the opportunity to have an honest, age-appropriate discussion about how these events fit into our nation’s history.
