High School Bootcamp

Generating an awareness and interest in different health care careers

ThedaCare High School Boot Camp is an opportunity for current high school students going into their junior, senior year, or recent high school graduates to generate an awareness and interest in the different health care careers. The application for ThedaCare Medical Center-Berlin is open to current high school students, including 8th graders going into 9th grade, as well as graduating seniors. The Berlin event only is for all high school students, not just juniors and seniors. This opportunity will engage participants interested in health careers by learning and interacting with health care professionals from ThedaCare.

Participants will learn how health care teams work together to provide the best patient care for our patients/community and will have opportunities to meet and speak with health staff from different departments to learn what a day in healthcare might mean.
