The program offers a truly unique summer surgical experience with extensive hands-on training on real cadavers using state-of-the-art equipment, guided by board-certified surgeons and clinicians.
The Orthopedic Foundation's Medical Immersion Summer Camp offers high school students a unique, hands-on opportunity to explore various medical specialties. Participants work directly with physicians in a small group setting, gaining practical skills such as first aid, splinting, suturing, drawing blood, and wound care. A core component of the program involves performing advanced procedures on real cadavers using state-of-the-art equipment, including advanced life support techniques like IV and intubation, and orthopedic surgeries such as arthroscopy and arthroplasty. The curriculum covers a broad range of medical fields, including anesthesia, dermatology, medical research, nursing, physical therapy, radiology, regenerative medicine, sports medicine, and vascular surgery. Students also learn about the medical school application process from current medical students, providing valuable insights into future career paths. The program aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world medical practice, fostering critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
Students engage in morning and afternoon sessions focusing on various medical topics, gaining practical skills and performing advanced procedures on real cadavers under the guidance of physicians.
This program is ideal for high school students (ages 15-18) who are seriously exploring a career in medicine and desire intensive, hands-on experience, including cadaver training, in a simulated operating room environment.
