WINNIPEG – A few hundred lucky kids are playing doctor at the University of Manitoba beginning today.
Over 220 inner city, aboriginal and new Canadian children are spending the week getting hands-on scientific experience at the Faculty of Medicine’s Biomedical Youth Summer Camp.
The camp is free, runs until July 30 and is open to youth from eight to 17 years. It’s geared toward providing information about and stimulating interest in careers in medicine and biomedical research for kids who wouldn’t normally have access.
Students are conducting experiments to detect cancer, studying the physiology of sound and vision, learning about crime scene analysis, using hands-on simulation technology and learning about health care careers.
This is the fourth year the camp is in operation. It’s run with the financial support of several health care, academic and community groups, including the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA), the University of Manitoba, Career Trek and the Winnipeg School Division.
