Medical Application of Science for Health

Every summer, hundreds of high school students in Arkansas don surgical scrubs or lab coats at Area Health Education Centers (AHECs) and community hospitals in order to learn more about health careers. With a special emphasis on rural youth, the Medical Application of Science for Health, or M*A*S*H, has allowed teenagers to experience the real world of medicine, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, and allied health in hopes that they will pursue a health career.  
 

Since 1988, 5,079 students have participated in summer M*A*S*H programs. More than 68% of the participants are from hometowns with a population of 10,000 or less, and 18%  represent minorities.
