TAP Health Summer Academy 2025 Kick-Off & Orientation

​The Kick-Off & Orientation is the first event of The Health Collaborative's 2025 TAP Health Summer Academy. You can begin to arrive and check in at 12:30p, with the official agenda for the event beginning at 12:45p.

​What will happen at this event:

• ​Meet TAP Health staff, interns & other students

• ​Pick up your customized Lab Coat

• ​Review event procedures, goals & guidelines

• ​Turn in any missing forms

• ​Learn how to register for events (By the time orientation begins, you will most likely be registered for all summer events, but we will still review the process & how to make changes, adjust to wait-list, etc.)

• ​Review infection procedures

• ​Review HIPAA laws and hospital confidentiality guidelines

• ​Learn about a post-summer near-peer mentorship opportunity

• ​Briefly hear from 2 awesome speakers about other ways to make the most of your TAP Health experience... including our upcoming hack-a-thon, and how to get balance & mental wellness out of every event

• ​Hear from a panel of former TAP Health students on how to make the most of your time in the program & beyond!

• ​If you come to Orientation, you will also receive one ticket to explore the Cincinnati Museum Center Exhibit: "Advancing Health"!

  • ​As orientation concludes around 3:30, even more fun begins!

  • ​We will take a group photo and then you're invited to walk around the exhibit solo or with new TAP Health friends.

  • ​Museum closes at 5pm so you must be finished exploring by then.

    • ​Your ticket also provides admission to allow you to explore the Museum of Natural History & Science.

    • ​Please note we are only able to provide museum tickets for TAP Health students.

​Make sure to eat a hearty brunch or lunch BEFORE attending this event! You are welcome to bring in your water bottle, but you are responsible for your own property.

​Additional Notes:

​We are hoping to have a small group of parents act as escorts/chaperones for the museum portion of the event. If you have a parent who is already driving and picking you up for the event who might enjoy this opportunity, please e-mail Heleena if you are interested in them being a chaperone. We will take the first few who sign up!

​If you can not make this event, there is an alternate date event the week prior - on Thursday May 29 from 1-3pm. Click here to register!
