MedStars Honors Experience

MEDSTARS

During one week of July each year, 40 qualified high-school students visit Oregon Health & Science University for a crash course in health science career development.  Students:

• Meet with health professionals
• Learn about 25 different health-care careers
• Stay in a college dorm and meet peers from around the state.

MedStars is currently taking applications for the 2013 program (July 16-20), as well as for peer counselors who have already completed the program.

MedStars is sponsored by the Area Health Education Center Program Office and the four regional AHEC centers throughout Oregon.
