PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Future Doctors Program seeks to introduce students to the fundamentals of pre-medical studies. The program covers various topics including content modules on genetic inheritance, hormones, immunology, and organic chemistry. It also explores case studies on various diseases, poses medical ethics questions, and offers an opportunity to dissect scientific papers. The program aims to prepare students for a career in medicine by providing an overview of the MCAT process.

Providing an extensive overview of pre-med, the program encourages students to think critically and quickly. Each day begins with an in-depth lecture covering an important aspect of the medical field ranging from genetics to organic chemistry. Students then engage in hands-on activities created to orient them to the realities of working in medicine. The program guides students through topics and higher order thinking skills necessary to succeed in the medical field.

Become confident and knowledgeable about the path to medical school.

"I enjoyed how the instructors taught us the things we needed to learn, my classmates, and how fast we created a very comfortable place. I want to study medicine in the future, and I can use the knowledge to help me because now I have more knowledge about how medicine is. If I had to summarise my experience in one word, it would be ‘Amazing.’ "

"I enjoyed discussing different topics with other students from around the world and getting their insight on subjects. I also really enjoyed learning about organic chemistry and immunology! Since I am just starting high school, the information we learned will benefit my upcoming science classes, like genetics and organic chemistry. I can now use the new knowledge I learned from my instructors about applying to universities, doing extracurricular courses, and being myself and working hard through my high school years to become successful. If I had to summarise the experience in one word, it would be ‘Informative.’ "

" The case studies were updated to today's technological advances, such as the application for CRISPR. It helped me to decide on my career path in Medicine, and also to develop research skills as a group using different sources of information, and to be able to filter what's important. Being freshmen at HSA, the teachers had a lot of energy and kept me engaged along with the sessions. If I had to describe my experience in one word, it would be 'Eye-Opening.' "

"I enjoyed the fact that the program has been interactive and exciting. Our instructors were passionate about the topics they were teaching, and they managed to turn some complex scientific topics into graspable information. The program was like a breath of fresh air! The content covered in the program will undoubtedly help me in my biology course and later during medical school.
Learn with Leaders is a great organization that brings together motivated young people and professionals from various fields, which creates a friendly and inspirational environment. I would gladly participate in other programs because they bring a lot of value to me as a student. "
