Every summer, over 500 11th and 12th grade students participate in one of these two-week camps, which are offered in 30+ communities across Arkansas. Community Health Applied in Medical Public Service (CHAMPS) is a 3-5 day option geared for younger students (8th - 10th grade) in smaller, more rural communities. Continued on Schedule O.M*A*S*H, Continued:These programs are very effective in inspiring students toward health careers at a time when they are making college and career plans, with most students coming from rural and/or minority backgrounds. In 2016, 95% stated that after M*A*S*H they were more likely to pursue a health career; 58% more likely to pursue Primary Care, and 54% more likely to practice in a Rural or Medically Underserved Area.M*A*S*H participants explore health careers and interact with diverse health care professionals. They earn Basic First Aid and CPR certification, tour medical facilities, learn healthy lifestyles, and engage in fun hands-on activities that apply classroom science concepts to real-world healthcare fields and scenarios, including lectures, labs, clinical interaction and shadowing. In Arkansas, 60 of our 75 counties are designated as Dental Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs), and 42% of our population lives in rural areas. By participating in a M*A*S*H program in or near their hometown, students from rural areas can observe both available resources and the need for health professionals in their own communities. 32007 Farm Family of the Year - Since 1947, the Arkansas Farm Family of the Year Program has served as a vehicle to recognize outstanding farm families throughout the state.
