Enter the complex and changing world of MEDICINE & HEALTHCARE.
Explore the world of medicine and find out what you can do to improve your chances of getting into medical school. You will examine the most significant and controversial issues facing the medical profession today. Leading researchers, physicians, and educators will expose you to the challenges of managed care, lead you in discussions about global health issues, and take you through cutting-edge processes in diagnosis and treatment.

See the inner workings of a HEALTHCARE TEAM.
Experience what it’s really like to be part of a healthcare team. Working as a general physician, specialist, hospital administrator, or other medical professional in our simulation, you’ll manage a patient’s case and make healthcare decisions based on new medical facts and circumstances presented each day.

Practice diagnosis and treatment in the MEDICAL SIMULATION.
Depending on location and session, students have the rare opportunity to either work with cutting-edge robotic simulators that look and respond like real patients, or participate in a standardized patient simulation where medical actors play the roles of patients with unidentified illnesses. Students conduct patient interviews, evaluations, and assessments to diagnose the illnesses and then select treatment regimens – while weighing healthcare and insurance costs – to obtain the optimal outcome. These are invaluable and innovative learning tools for engaging potential medical students with up-to-date procedures.
