Summer Camp Delivers Cutting-Edge Health Care Experience
Students work with Lucina, NSU’s Birth Simulator.
Nova Southeastern University’s Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine opened its doors to high-schoolers through its AIM-High program – a five-day medical school immersive summer camp held from July 17 to July 21 on NSU’s Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus.
Achieve in Medicine (AIM) – High is designed for academically strong freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior high school students who are interested in pursuing a career in the health professions. AIM-High will provide students with hands-on medical experiences, which include the role of technology in the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions.
Camp participants were able to get seven-plus hours of instruction each day and will learn alongside NSU medical students and faculty.
Among the student experiences this summer were the:
- SIMTIC Simulator, where students practiced intubation skills, obtained vital signs from the medical student volunteers, and listened to heart and lung sounds on our high-fidelity manikins.
- Sports Medicine-Splinting Skills Lab, where students learned about using a splint for fractures and other injuries.
- Labor, delivery, and newborn infant care, where students were exposed to the Lucina Birth Simulator.
- Immersive Learning Technology in Medical Education, where students received interactive immersive hands-on experience with Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) 3D Anatomy and Mixed Reality (MR).
