So, I've got my eye on med school in the future, and I'm trying to find some summer programs to build my experience. Are there any UCLA medical summer programs specifically designed for high school students? Like is there anything focused on research or clinical experiences? Thanks!
Yes, UCLA offers some medical summer programs designed for high school students that can help you gain valuable experience in the field.
One such program is the UCLA Pre-Med Summer Scholar Program. This is a four-day program, where high school students get the chance to participate in hands-on activities in medical simulation, scientific research, and professional development. You'll also have the opportunity to learn from UCLA faculty and medical students, and benefit from presentations and workshops on various topics in medicine.
This program can be competitive, so make sure to apply early and have a strong application. You should also explore other pre-med summer programs available at different universities, so you can maximize your chances of finding the right program that suits your interests and goals. Good luck!
