Our daughter is a rising senior and attended the Outset camp at UNC. She enjoyed staying on UNC’s campus, living in dorm, and met a handful of new friends from all over that she’ll have for life. She was impressed with the speakers, enriching engaging content, and loved the skills lab! Her favorites were the OR simulation lab, intubation lab, and suture skill lab. In addition to enriching content during the day, they had balanced fun exploring Franklin Street, Durham Bull’s baseball game, zip lining, pickle ball and pool time! This was her first overnight camp and was a huge success! Staff were very professional, friendly and organized. Highly recommend for any student with interest in health care industry.

I really enjoyed being around people like me who are interested in medicine. You don’t find those kind of people just anywhere. I loved doing the simulations and being around real surgeons and pre med students! They answered every question I had. I look forward to next year.

My daughter Absolutely Loved this program!! It gave her glimpse of what college life and medical school will be like for her when she enrolls in college. She is looking forward to coming back next year!!

My rising sophmore found Outset because she wanted to learn more about becoming a doctor. She had enjoyed her HS biology class, and likes how much her grandmother enjoys being a physician. The camp met or exceeded all of her expectations. She participated in the surgery week, and came home with a deeper appreciation of the study and practice of various specialties that fall under surgery. She hopes to return next year to learn more about primary care. As a parent, I wanted her to have a safe, inspiring, and educational experience. She did.

My son recently attended the Outset program and came back with great excitement to pursue medicine. What an exceptional experience for our youth. A great blend of strong academics and fun. My son came to the program from the west coast and the entire experience from airport to UNC and back was seamless thanks to Lawson. Thank you to Lawson and the Outset team.

My son attended the Outset program and had a wonderful experience. The students, faculty and staff really made an impact on him. He also enjoyed the school and its facilities. We look forward to learning more for 2025. Thank you!

My daughter, who is going into ninth grade, did the medical camp for a week at UNC Chapel Hill. She chose to do the surgical track. It motivated her and solidified her interest in medicine. I am a Harvard-trained surgeon myself, I’ve never pushed either of my daughters to go into medicine, but when she expressed an interest, I brought up the Outset camp which she chose to do. We are thrilled she had this experience! She loved it and made and met wonderful friends from all over the country. I highly recommend it! She was very nervous going into it, not having any friends and nervous it would be over her head, but she said it was the best decision. She also had fun during all the activities. The camp was outstanding! Thank you to Lawson and the team.

My son thoroughly enjoyed his experience with this camp. Only recently has he shown interest in pursuing a career in the medical field and this camp solidified that is exactly what he wants to do. He enjoyed the various pathways explored and he thought it was a good mix of learning and social outings. Thank you Outset!
