The MASH Program (Medical Application of Science for Health) is a program for high school students in rural South Arkansas Communities that provides hands-on experiences in health careers, health education, and community service. During the two-week program students work with local private medically related offices and businesses and with various departments in the hospital itself by rotating through different activities each day and shadowing various health care providers.
Students in the program will be certified in CPR and Basic First Aid, make a First Aid Kit for personal use, participate in a community service project, and learn the importance of healthy lifestyle habits.This program is offered at no charge to any 10 to 12 junior high students interested in health-related careers. Students must have had Biology to participate in MASH. The selection criteria are based on the student’s scholastic ability as reported by transcripts, recommendations of counselor, science or health teachers and the application prepared by the student.
