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.
