Health Sciences Summer Boot Camp
June 10 - June 11
The University of Charleston (UC) will be hosting a Health Sciences Bootcamp June 10 – 11, 2025. The camp’s purpose is to respond to the ever-growing shortage of healthcare providers in West Virginia. Program goals are to introduce, educate and inspire young students to explore healthcare as a potential career choice while highlighting all UC has to offer.
The camp will focus on students interested in careers such as exercise science, nursing, radiology, occupational therapy, physician assistant, and physical therapy.
Additionally, students will be provided with information to be better informed when selecting the correct coursework to prepare them to pursue a career in healthcare.
The camp will be held June 10th and 11th at the University of Charleston in Charleston, West Virginia. Students will be housed on campus for two days and one night. Students will stay in one of the UC dormitories to provide them with a semblance of dorm life. The camp will also offer hands- on experiences and education to offer students with a “snapshot” of what a day in the life of a healthcare provider may look like.
