High school students who are considering medicine can explore the health sciences in pre-med summer programs. One of the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) disciplines, pre-med education centers on human biology and how the heart, lungs, musculoskeletal and nervous systems function together.
Students learn through lecture-based and hands-on teaching styles. They can take part in medical simulations using practice dummies or computer programs. There are pre-med programs focusing on surgery, anatomy, emergency medicine, forensic science, and even medical journalism. Some pre-med programs focus on medicine as a career, others on research. Some offer college credit and are typically held on university and college campuses. If you want to get a head start on your medical career, then a pre-med summer program could be the best opportunity for you! No matter your interest or how you want to approach your future as a healthcare provider, our unique pre-med summer programs can help you start your journey into medicine on the right foot.
