Six fourth-year medical students are soaking up real-life action at the Base Camp Foxtrot Medical Facility as they work on a wilderness medicine rotation. Three are Eagle Scouts, and the other three are women getting a total immersion in the Scouting life.
This is the first year in a partnership with the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, one that Jamboree CMO Dr. John Lea would like to be a precedent for other medical schools.
“The students add another dimension to the Jamboree experience, which make everything more fun,” said Dr. Scott Strenger, CMO for the Base Camp Foxtrot Medical Facility. “The doctors get to do some teaching, and the students are extra hands on deck.”
The students’ Jamboree preceptor is someone they see throughout the year, Dr. Erik Langenau, who is on faculty at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. At the Jamboree, he’s a staff physician at Base Camp Foxtrot.
“This is a great partnership, and there should be more of them. Any Jamboree doctor or nurse who is on a faculty or has a faculty connection should explore a partnership with me. We’ll build one that works,” Lea said.

Medical Students Offer Their Reactions to Jamboree
The med students at Base Camp Foxtrot were universally positive about their Jamboree experiences. Here are some comments.
“This is an opportunity to do something very different, something that is far outside what we do in a hospital setting.” – Cameron Williams from Temecula, Calif.
“I don’t know of any other opportunity to do medicine in the field like this. It’s awesome to work on plastic matting with plywood partitions to create exam rooms.” – Austin Sorchik from New Egypt, N.J.
“We have a lot of independence. The attendings are looking at us to step up.” – Elisa Giusto from Mountaintop, Penn.
“We don’t see a lot of teens in our clinics at home. It’s mainly toddlers there. Communicating with teens is different, so this is a great opportunity to learn.” – Sarah Corcoran from Philadelphia
“We are seeing such a range of people, which is great. We could see someone from Texas on minute and then someone from Sierra Leone the next.” – Sarah Blazovic from Wilmington, Del.
“The Scouts often are amazed to be treated by someone who is almost their age, and I find that to be delightful. They are used to seeing doctors many years older than they are. They’re asking lots of questions about being a doctor.” – Ash Cochran from Philadelphia
