The Pre-Med Level II Academy @HOME

The Pre-Med Level II Academy @HOME relies on prior knowledge from the Level I program (or a curricular equivalent) to give students the tools to fill the shoes of an emergency room doctor or a triage nurse in patient care. Students will learn about human physiology, the pathologies that affect it, and the tools needed to diagnose and treat those pathologies.

Learn to diagnose and treat patients.

Program Overview: Pre-Med Level I

The goals of Pre-Med I are to introduce students to the fundamentals of pre-medical studies. We hope to provide an extensive overview of pre-med while also encouraging students to think critically and quickly. Each day, we will begin with an in-depth lecture covering an important aspect to the medical field, ranging from genetics to organic chemistry. We then transition into hands-on activities created to orient students to the realities of working in medicine. Our program guides students through topics and higher order thinking skills necessary to succeed in the medical field.

Our goal is to provide a one-of-a-kind experience for students to be confident and knowledgeable about the path to medical school. We aim to instill courage in our students to pursue a career in medicine.

Program Overview: Pre-Med Level II

The goals of Pre-Med II are to give students a fully immersive experience into the world of medicine. By stepping into the shoes of a physician, this academy challenges students to think quickly and decisively in order to treat patients. Each day, we begin with an introduction to a new pathology. From there, students begin to examine real-life case studies and analyze the implications of the decisions made as well as alternatives. With guided instruction and access to a knowledgeable Harvard undergraduate instructor, students are properly equipped with the knowledge and experience to successfully have a career in medicine.

Our Level II program extends our goals from the Level I Academy by giving students a far more immersive, hands-on experience to the world of medicine. By simulating the role of medical professionals, students are given unparalleled insight as they enter the medical world.
