Campers will have the unique opportunity to meet professors from fields such as Physical Therapy, Athletic Training, Nursing, Medical Laboratory Sciences, Audiology, Speech Language Pathology, Child Life Specialist, Wellness Coaching, and Nutrition. These experts will share their insights, provide guidance, and inspire the next generation of health professionals.
