Medical Information
Beginning this summer, in our continuous efforts to provide the best possible care to our students, the Summer Institute for the Gifted is partnering with CampDoc.com.
CampDoc.com is an electronic health record system for summer programs like ours, and it will help us consolidate and integrate student health information into a centralized and secure location. Their system will give our nurses instant access to camper health information, a key component in providing quality patient care.
The security, confidentiality and privacy of your camper’s personal health information will always be protected. Only SIG’s health staff will have access to student health information, and the CampDoc.com site is secure, encrypted, and password protected.
After acceptance, you will receive a "Welcome Email" from CampDoc.com with information about how to complete your child’s health information.
