This program introduces healthcare to Middle School Students. It is similar to our Mini Medical School Summer Experience but designed at the level of middle school students. We concentrate on the fields of Medicine and Surgery and offer students 14 hands on experiences. Like our other programs, we are offering a blended program this year due to the pandemic. Students can register online and are accepted on a first come first served basis. Space is limited to 20 students but we will allow more if the COVID infection rate is low and students are vaccinated and masked. This summer we are continuing our hybrid format. A week prior to the program, each student will receive 6 links with approximately 30 minute lectures each to be viewed on your home computer. Then students will meet at the Edward - Plainfield Outpatient facility for 4 hours of in person hands on experiences.
Our next program is scheduled for Sunday July 10th
from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM. at the
Edward Elmhurst Plainfield Out Patient Center.
This is a one day 8 hour program for any student interested in healthcare. This program allows students to "experience" the fields of medicine and surgery. The program is appropriate for any student in grades 9 though college junior. Due to the current pandemic, the program has been modified into a blended program consisting of 4 hours of asynchronous online lecture , viewed at the student's own pace. Students will then read our comprehensive handout explaining each experience. This will be followed by in person experiences in small groups of 4-5 students who will rotate through 16-17 experiences, each with 2-3 Teaching Assistants. The groups will rotate 17-18 times.
