This is a good intro to college life for high school kids. That said, they were housed in the oldest dorms with no AC and mediocre food. They made them walk excessive amounts in the heat. They took them to Santa Monica pier without giving guidance on the buddy system. They only had two afternoons with simulations, and the rest was lecture which my student found boring. For what you pay, I don’t think this is really worth it. That said, there aren’t many summer programs this short and dedicated to medicine. We wouldn’t choose it again, but not filled with regret either.

went to the unc location, would not recommend. activities were super limited due to the minor protection acts, hands on activities were non existent. from a 7:30am-11:00pm day, about 4 1/2 hours were spent on ACTUAL medical stuff. last day was cut entirely for kids who had to take a bus to the airport.

The drop off was seamless and well organized. The pick up email said 3-5pm but when I showed, almost everyone was gone but my daughter. She said they started leaving at 2pm. A little disheartening. As for the activities, they were busy from 8am till 1015pn daily making for a long day. The learning portion was very general and some things were common sense or Google found. They discussed stats of MCAT scores and how many doctors there are in the neuro field currently. There was not alot of information on the actual neuro field except from 1 neurosurgeon that spoke, which she was knowledgeable and very helpful! Other programs offer a showing of a surgery that I believe are beneficial and allows the students to ask questions as they go. We hoped for alot more insight on point of contracts, what the internship looks like, more information regarding the upcoming technology, when and how to apply for colleges in a particular field, what to look for overall, and just more in depth information on neurosurgery.
