Mini-Medical University for Teens

Mini-Medical University for Teens 

For the fourth year in a row, Memorial Hospital’s Ambassador Services Department plans to offer a one-of-a-kind learning experience for high school students 15-18 who have an interest in medicine. This action-packed, hands-on experience will include lectures from clinicians in specialty areas, labs, exposure to a clinical unit and service within Memorial. Mini-Medical University 101 is a full-day, weeklong experience.

Mini-Medical University for Teens was held for the first time in the summer of 2009. The pilot program proved a huge success, resulting in a long waiting list for the 2010. Class sizes were limited to ensure an exceptional learning experience. This fantastic opportunity was offered again in the summer of 2011. At this time, we do plan to offer Mini Medical University 101 in the summer of 2012.

Students who successfully complete Mini-Medical University for Teens 101 are also eligible to interview for a volunteer position at the hospital. Due to privacy laws and other requirements, only high school students who attend Mini Medical University are eligible to volunteer while in high school.

Only students who have successfully completed Mini-Medical University for Teens 101 and who are still in high school are eligible to attend the advanced Mini-Medical University for Teens 201. This one-day session is not currently scheduled for the summer of 2012, but the status may change.  If so, eligible students will be notified.

Please call Pam in the office of Ambassador and Customer Services at 574-647-6495 with any questions or to have your name placed on the waiting list for information.
