ECHO Camp

The Exploring Careers in Healthcare Opportunities (ECHO) program at Western Missouri Medial Center is a week-long camp for current high school students to explore the exciting world of healthcare careers through job shadowing and hands-on activities with WMMC staff.

ECHO Camp participants will connect with our healthcare team for behind-the-scenes tours, procedure demonstrations and interactive exercises led by healthcare providers from WMMC’s emergency department, obstetrics, diagnostic imaging, laboratory and more. All current high school students and students graduating in May 2024 are eligible to attend the camp.

A camp fee of $40 includes an ECHO Camp T-shirt, WMMC swag bag and lunch each day of the camp. For information regarding ECHO Camp scholarships, contact Cyndi Fleming, Student Experiences Coordinator, at cfleming@wmmc.com.

Students are required to complete the ECHO Camp online application to attend. The application includes a letter of recommendation from a nonrelative adult and a one-page essay describing the applicant’s interest in healthcare careers and what they hope to gain from ECHO camp.
