opinion about us

I have always been interested in medicine, but I didn't know what I wanted to do specifically. The Summer Discovery Career Accelerator for Medicine & Health Sciences helped me to explore my interests and to learn more about the different career options in medicine.

I had the opportunity to take courses in a variety of subjects, including anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry. I also had the opportunity to shadow doctors and nurses, which gave me a real-world look at what it's like to work in the medical field.

The program was very well-organized and the professors were all very knowledgeable and helpful. They were always available to answer my questions and they were always willing to help me with my research. The program also had a lot of great resources, such as the library and the computer lab.

I would highly recommend the Summer Discovery Career Accelerator for Medicine & Health Sciences to any high school student who is interested in a career in medicine.
