Is your high school student interested in the fields of Medicine or Surgery?
If so, consider the opportunity provided by local pediatrician Dr. Ira Rubin at Edward Hospital.
Since 2005, Dr. Rubin’s Mini-Medical School has been a community service program for juniors and seniors, designed to encourage motivated high school students to become physicians and surgeons. The Mini Medical School for High School Students Program is a competitive program.
The program is designed to take students through the typical courses learned in medical school and then do a virtual rotation through the typical clinical fields and then the program ends with a graduation that includes a review of all the procedures and skills learned in the program along with an overview of the medical school admissions process.
More than 30 specific clinical and procedural skills will be experienced. The typical high school student will find enough about the medical field to determine if her or she is committed to more education or clearly going to move on to another interests.
A detailed description of the program and access to the online application with dates for 2018 are now posted online at www.minimedicalschool.com. If interested apply early.
Dr. Rubin suggests all interested students check their 2018 schedules in January, February and March before applying.
The deadline for all completed applications to be considered for the 2018 Mini-Medical School is October 30, 2017.
