Description:Spend four weeks at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine intensive program designed for high school juniors and seniors interested in medical careers. Modeled after actual Penn Medicine classes, you’ll gain exposure to the basics of medical training including suturing, drawing blood, IVs, dissections and minimally invasive surgical techniques. The high–tech, jaw-dropping learning space is every student’s dream. You’ll learn from the highly accredited Penn faculty, who are extremely hands-on throughout the program. Students also have the rare opportunity to observe a live surgery in Penn’s surgical amphitheater. This program is a solid first step into pre-med education and careers.

Essay Pompts:Aside from an assumed interest in medicine, why are you interested in the Penn Medicine Summer Program for High School Students? Do not exceed 300 – 400 words.

Letter of Recommendation:We require two letters, the first must be written by a science, technology, engineering or mathematics teacher, and the second may be written by current or recent teachers, school administrators, employer or mentors, or directors of extracurricular activities
