MedQuest

Health Career Exploration Camp for High School Students

MedQuest, held annually since 1994, is a health career exploration camp for Oregon high school students. Each of the three camps are created specifically for the community that hosts it. Every job shadow, connection with a local organization, and hands-on activity is determined by what is available in the area, giving students a clear picture of the community and the healthcare workforce within it.
