Brain Camp @ UCSF

Founded by UCSF MSTP and PRIME students, Brain Camp @ UCSF is a free, immersive, week-long experience for underserved high school students in San Francisco, led by UCSF medical students and faculty. We will explore the fascinating anatomy of the brain, delve into the complex interplay between mind and behavior, and host college prep workshops, all at UCSF. The Camp also features many hands-on activities including suturing, brain dissections performing the basic neuro exam, and much more! The application and other info can be found at ilovebraincamp.org.

Student quotes from the post-camp survey:

"I wasn't sure how brain camp was structured and so I didn't know what to expect but even after the orientation I got incredibly excited by all the things we would learn because of the senior counselors. As the week passed by I really had so much fun learning all the new things I never knew about and it really inspired me to research more on my own and to dive deeper into neuroscience! It was genuinely one of the very best experiences I had in my life."
 "I really liked the hands on experience we got from the camp, as it wasn’t just lecture based. The activities were very engaging and informative, allowing me to connect further with my group and expand on my neuroscience knowledge."
