About this camp

The Burton Family Foundation Summer Health Institute at ASU's College of Health Solutions offers high school juniors an immersive, week-long college experience to explore diverse health career options. Participants engage in three hours of daily simulations at Creighton University School of Medicine, practicing skills such as suturing, IVs, intubation, and injections. They also interact with healthcare professionals, tour local healthcare facilities, and research genetic disorders, culminating in a group presentation. The program aims to inspire students, particularly those from underrepresented communities in medicine, to pursue higher education and careers in healthcare, addressing the shortage of healthcare workers in the region.
