Academic Bootcamp 2025

Join us for an academic healthcare bootcamp to start the new school year off right! We will be providing breakfast, lunch, and snacks. There will be breaks between sessions. This is a 2 day event, so if you sign up, you are signing up for both days. Make sure you can attend both days before signing up, as this has very limited spots available!
