Grades 9-12
The National Youth Leadership Forum (NYLF): Medicine & Health Care is your chance to gain transformational medical school and career knowledge. Over eight days, discover the right path for your future through a fun and interactive curriculum that will allow you to test your personal and academic strengths in true-to-life simulations and hands-on clinical training, while you gain the confidence needed to give yourself a leg up on your future.
Outdoor Medicine Simulation: When Care Is Hours Away
Created by the late wilderness medicine expert Dr. Paul Auerbach and simulation expert Dr. Rebecca Smith-Coggins, professors in Stanford University School of Medicine's Department of Emergency Medicine, this realistic simulation will allow you to learn and practice potentially life-saving medical techniques, including positioning and extraction, wound care, control of bleeding, usage of splints and slings, and basic wilderness first aid.
Triage Simulation: When Disaster Strikes Designed in collaboration with Mary desVignes-Kendrick, M.D., M.P.H., Texas A&M Health Science Center School of Rural Public Health, and her team, you will respond to a disaster as a medical professional, assess and sort victims based on the severity of their injuries, and practice applying your medical knowledge in high-pressure environments.
Participate in the Medical Ethics Caucus, attend the MED Session: Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine, and take part in the Clinical Skills Rotation workshop, part 1.
Explore life as a medical student and experience a medical school tour or a medical simulation center where scholars will interact with health care providers and test the latest technology under guidance from the experts. Scholars will have lunch or dinner off campus.
Receive your Certificate of Completion and look forward to a future in medicine.
