Healthcare camp for high school students enhances the understanding of foundations of osteopathic medicine, identifying implicit bias, and recognizing social determinants of health

Efforts to reduce health disparities and increase access to underserved populations may be outpaced as populations diversify further. Early exposure of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility, and Belonging (DEIAB) initiatives within healthcare to high school students may improve perceptions of attainability as well as an understanding of equitable representation in healthcare. Marian University hosted a 5-day camp at the College of Osteopathic Medicine (MU-COM) for high school students to learn about a spectrum of health professions, with emphases on osteopathic principles and DEIAB-related health topics.
