Summer Opportunity
Lebanon Valley College Health and Biomedical Sciences Summer Program
Lebanon Valley College Health and Biomedical Sciences Summer Program, will be held at Lebanon Valley College from July 21-26, 2025! We are happy to welcome rising High School freshmen-graduating seniors.
The registration portal for the camp is now open and can be found at the Camp website (Health and Biomedical Sciences Summer Program). Because space is limited, and we anticipate the program will fill quickly, we recommend that students submit their registration as soon as possible to secure a slot.
The goal of the Health and Biomedical Sciences Summer Program is to provide a window into the scientific basis of human health. Through lectures and hands-on laboratory investigations in state-of-the-art laboratories, students will be introduced to the fundamentals of disciplines such as molecular biology, neuroscience, physiology, pharmacology, immunology, and other medical sciences. Students will learn how laboratory science can be translated into improved human health, and they will engage in investigative experiences that will allow them to apply their laboratory skills to real life problems. In addition, students will interact with practicing professionals in fields such as medicine, physician assistant, psychology, toxicology, and biomedical laboratory research. The Health and Biomedical Sciences camp will provide a fun, challenging and engaging college environment in which students will develop a deeper understanding of what it means to be a biomedical scientist and health professional.
For more information, or if you or your students have questions about the camp, you can visit the Health and Biomedical Sciences website (http://www.lvc.edu/academics/summer-community-programming/health-biomedical-sciences-camp/) or contact Dr. Courtney Lappas at lappas@lvc.edu.
