Priority is given to Orange County high school students.
Founded by two UCI medical students and an UCI undergraduate student, the program is an annual, weekend-long seminar set in the local mountains. Participants may be eligible to participate in the UCI College of Medicine Summer Program as well. UCI CampMed focuses on several subjects, including medical and team-building workshops, small group discussions and large group activities and career reinforcement activities. Medical and undergraduate students, as well as faculty, staff, physicians, and community members, contribute their expertise and lead the program's workshops, as well as act as counselors and family facilitators. A total of 140 high school students from Santa Ana High School and Upward Bound, Compton College have benefited from CampMed's opportunities, and this year 75 students from the Westminister and Long Beach areas are expected to participate in this culturally diverse program.
