WESTSIDE — Seven Benton County high school students learned about anatomy through the dissection of animal organs when they attended a Medical Applications of Science for Health camp July 17 through 29 at the Area Health Education Center in Fayetteville.
The two-week summer medical enrichment experience is designed to give interested students a glimpse of what a healthprofession is really like. Students participated in a variety of medical-related activities, including observing surgery, learning about reading x-rays, shadowing a doctor making rounds and others.
The program is to encourage rural youth interested in medical fields to continue their education and then return to rural areas to work.
Students were sponsored by the Arkansas MENTOR Medical Partnership and Benton County Farm Bureau.
