This program provides an overview of a typical medical school.  Students get a very fast paced course providing the concepts and principles of each basic  science class taught at a typical medical school.  This is followed by a virtual rotation through the clinical fields of Medicine, Pediatrics, OB/Gyne, Psychiatry, Family Medicine, Radiology and Anesthesia. 

This program is 20 hours long divided over 6 sessions.  Each session's topic are followed by hands on experience where the class is divided up into small groups of 4 students who work with a Teaching Assistant who has been mentored by Dr Rubin and completed the class in the past.

We offer the program twice a year, one class being held on Saturday afternoons and the second is being held on Sunday afternoons. All lectures are held at Edward Hospital Education Center 3rd floor auditorium and conference rooms and our hands-on experiences are in the Heart Hospital Conference rooms or the Education Center's 3rd floor conference rooms.  Parents are invited to our last session, which includes our graduation. At the graduation, Dr Rubin will then explain how students go from high school into a healthcare career, ranging from technical jobs to becoming a medical doctor. 

The application is a competitive process.  Applicants are evaluated on a rolling basis.  There are 4 parts:

1.  An online form which includes a short essay explaining why you want to attend the program.

2.  A parent consent form.

3.  A counselor form

4.  A teacher recommendation from a science or math teacher.   * Best to use your teacher from last year or a prior year.

We need all 4 parts to consider you for the program. Once all complete forms are received we will invite students who we believe will best benefit from our program for a short video interview though Google Meet.  These interviews are only offered by invitation and are scheduled with Dr. Rubin.  Just like a real medical school, students are offered an acceptance on a rolling basis or rejected on a rolling basis. . The students are offered the acceptance by email and instructed to check their schedule.  The students has 1-2 weeks to send in their program fee to secure their spot, either a check made payable to Dr. Rubin’s Mini Medical School or money can be sent by Zelle.  The program fee covers all expenses. All students who apply will receive an emailed response by the end of December.  Students who do not send in a complete application will not be considered for the program.  It is the student’s responsibly to ensure we receive a complete application.  The application deadline every year is November 10 and the deadline for supporting forms (teacher, counselor and consent) is Nov 15th.
