The University of North Dakota (UND) Rural Collaborative Opportunities for Occupational Learning in Health (R-COOL-Health) Scrubs Academy I is a four day/three night camp held on the University of North Dakota campus.

The Scrubs Academy I encourages junior high students from across North Dakota to pursue a career in healthcare. Students participate in hands-on activities and receive information related to a variety of healthcare professions. In addition to the experiences with healthcare professionals, students are certified in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

The Scrubs Academy I serves as a mini-preparation program to strengthen academic skill sets associated with health disciplines, introduce adolescents to a higher education experience, and foster a relationship between the students and healthcare professionals. Students will sleep in the UND dorms all three evenings.
