<\/p>\nIncoming high school freshmen received a hands-on introduction to the field of medicine last week during the annual CampMed program at The University of Toledo.<\/p>\n
Students rotated through a wide variety of sessions during the two-day camp, including a tour of University\u2019s gross anatomy lab, a suturing workshop and a CPR class where they were taught the proper way to perform CPR on adults and infants, how to use an automated external defibrillator and how to clear the airway of a choking infant.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been fun,\u201d said Cuper Kania, who will be a freshman at Perkins High School near Sandusky this fall. \u201cI\u2019ve always had a fascination with the human body and I\u2019m glad I got to learn more about it. I\u2019m seriously considering a job in the medical field.\u201d<\/p>\n
CampMed is geared toward students entering their freshman year of high school who excel in science and mathematics and \u2014 like Kania \u2014 may be considering a future career in medicine, medical research, pharmacy or related fields.<\/p>\n
Twenty-five students representing 12 northwest Ohio high schools took part in this year\u2019s program.<\/p>\n
The camp is organized by the UToledo College of Medicine and Life Sciences and the UToledo Ohio Area Health Education Center program.<\/p>\n
