What's Up, DOC?!

Are you (or do you know of) a student completing grades 9 - 11 with a current GPA of  3.0  on a 4.0 scale in English, Math, Science, and Social Studies who is interested in health careers? 

Doctors of Our Community (DOC) is designed to introduce students to opportunities in health careers by exposure to professional schools and practitioners in Allopathic Medicine, Dentistry, Medicine, Medical Research, Nursing, Optometry, Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine, and other medical career options. Discussions and simulations of college application process and selection provide practical experiences for college bound students. In addition, the students are coached on survival skills such as test taking strategies, word processing, and reading and writing competencies.

The DOC program provides a unique opportunity to economically disadvantaged students in Wisconsin. Although students will be assigned a career to research, they will have the opportunity to do the same extensive research on other health career fields of choice.

The program runs July 26^th – August 4^th and it is a residential camp (students will reside in the residence halls at UW-Parkside).  Cost of the program is $2,000, however the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) will pay for the cost if the student meets the Federal eligibility guidelines for free or reduced lunch.

PS:  Congrats to all of our graduates this past weekend!  It was great seeing all of you "cross the stage!"  I will also be posting the Chancellor's Midnight breakfast as soon as I fix my "technical difficulties' with my camera!
