Description
The eHealth Young Innovators Summer Camp was run by UBC in 2011 and 2012, and proudly sponsored by TELUS. It was designed for high school students entering grades 10-12 in September. All campers experiment with eHealth technologies, carry out first aid on virtual patients, visit behind-the scenes parts of a hospital and the TELUS Innovation Centre (see 2011 and 2012 camp photos). There are also visits from professionals and a careers day to allow students to explore potential career pathways. Students will complete medical smartphone projects mentored by UBC Faculty and health informatics students and each day will include 30 minutes of sports and a healthy nutritious lunch with a snack and beverage.
