About CampMed at UCI
Our Missiom
The mission of CampMed at UCI is to provide an opportunity, free of cost, to high school students faced with socio-economic barriers to reach beyond what they normally see and receive in their home environments and gain inspiration from undergraduate students, medical students and graduate students, and health care professionals to pursue higher education.
Program Description
Today, CampMed at UCI is a non-profit educational-enrichment program that encompasses a mentorship program, various high school career development events, and a unique 3-day camp experience. Workshops in the past included: ultrasound, phlebotomy, intubation, medical ethics, suturing, dental impressions, team building exercises, first-aid and search & rescue. The mentorship program consists of two parts: mentorship through bi-weekly interactive, and informative workshops and activities at the high school, and mentorship through a mentee-mentor relationship subsequent to camp. This peer-mentoring program targets youth who may not have the resources to reach their potential, in order to help them grow to become confident and successful leaders and encourage them to pursue higher education.
Funding
The high school students attend CampMed at NO COST TO THEM. However, it costs approximately $140 per camper to send these participants to CampMed free-of-charge. Since CampMed at UCI is organized and directed by undergraduate, graduate and medical student volunteers, outside support is essential. All donations are tax deductible and all of the proceeds raised support camp functions. CampMed at UCI is a non-profit organization of the University of California, Irvine and has 501(C) status. To obtain our tax identification number, please contact us.
CampMed at UCI is a student-run high school outreach program that was founded by medical and undergraduate students in 1997. They saw the need for a local program that would target socio-economically disadvantaged high school students interested in pursuing higher education, especially in the health science fields. Currently in its 18th year of existence, CampMed at UCI has already reached out to over 1190 high school students from Los Angeles and Orange County schools.
I am one of the director of CampMED 2017 - 2018.
