Doctor Training Camp

UPenn’s undergraduate medical humanities journal, Word for Word, organized and hosted a Doctor Training Camp where students learned basic lifesaving medical skills and reflected on the values of a good doctor. Students practiced taking a manual pulse and blood pressure, effective CPR/AED use, bleeding control, and more. Hands-on demonstrations introduced the basics of the circulatory system, while students reflected on what healing means in Lakota language and culture. The program was led by Samantha Wu and Joysong Zhang.
