OsteoCHAMPS Return to Fee Hall

July 16, 2003

For the next two weeks, some of the students in Fee Hall, will be a little younger than usual.

That's because the OsteoCHAMPS are back. The summer program brings high school students from around the state to the MSU campus for a first hand look at the osteopathic profession.

Students live on campus for two weeks and get a taste of college life with classes in basic sciences, anatomy, chemistry, math and writing. They also receive advice on studying and test taking and general survival skills for college students. Through their interaction with MSUCOM faculty and advisors, they learn how to be better students and get practical advice about college and career choices.

This is the fourth year of the OsteoCHAMPS program, which has given dozens of high school juniors and seniors a chance explore osteopathic medicine and learn about the opportunities it might hold for them. The program continues through July 25.
