MASH camp students visit KCU-Joplin medical school

Kansas City University’s Joplin Campus served as one of the two host sites for a MASH summer day camp program, which is organized by the Southwest Missouri Area Health Education Center (AHEC).

During the camp, middle school students will get a firsthand look at what it’s like to be a medical school student.

Dr. Laura Rosch, D.O., Dean of KCU-Joplin says the students enjoyed a variety of activities:

“Handwashing demonstrations, nutrition, fitness,” she answers. “They will get to dissect a cows heart and pig’s lungs and then some osteopathic manipulative treatment demonstrations.”

The demonstrations took place with the assistance of KCU-Joplin fauclty members, and the AHEC staff.
