eHealth Young Innovators Summer Camp

The eHealth Young Innovators Summer Camp is run by UBC and proudly sponsored by TELUS. It is designed for high school students entering grades 10-12 in September 2012. All campers will experiment with eHealth technologies, carry out first aid on virtual patients, visit behind-the scenes parts of a hospital and the TELUS Innovation Centre. There will also be visits from professionals and a careers day will allow students to explore potential career pathways. Students will complete a project mentored by UBC Faculty and health informatics students and each day will include 30 minutes of sports and a healthy nutritious lunch with a snack and beverage.

  • Bursaries are available

There are a limited number of bursaries funded by TELUS.  eHealth Summer Camps are open to everyone and to ensure all have the opportunity, we offer a limited number of bursaries to those who meet Statistics Canada's low-income guidelines. In addition to detailing why you want to attend the camp, you will need to provide documentation showing the family’s current annual income (e.g. T4 slip) and a signed reference letter from your teacher that verifies:

  • That you have the aptitude to apply yourself to a week-long exploration of eHealth and technology

  • That this program will benefit you intellectually/socially etc.
