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.

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

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