High School Summer Program

Our High School Program is a 2-week (with optional 1 week add-on) hybrid course designed for motivated students interested in healthcare, medicine, anatomy, and physiology. Through live virtual lectures, guest speakers, in-person clinical workshops, leadership sessions, and research mentorship, students will gain a strong foundation for a future in medicine.

What Students Experience

  • Virtual Lectures: Hear from healthcare professionals (MDs, RNs, PharmDs, and more) who share real patient cases and insights from their daily work. Learn anatomy, physiology and relevant health-related topics that aren’t typically covered in a high school curriculum.

  • In-Person, Hands-On Clinical Workshops: Practice foundational clinical skills, including taking vitals, cranial nerve exams, kinesiology taping, suturing techniques, emergency care, and more.

  • Research & Mentorship: Students with an interest in starting their own healthcare-related initiatives or research projects will be guided by mentors. We want to see students create change in the community.

  • Community Outreach: Following the program, students may engage in community events to reinforce skills, teamwork, and problem-solving.

  • Leadership Opportunities: Alumni may return as TAs, supporting future cohorts and gaining leadership experience.
