Medical Immersion High School Program

Since its inception, the Orthopaedic Foundation has always strived to prepare and inspire students to become the future of medicine. We believe in cultivating the same small-group, hands-on learning environment that physicians encounter: working with real cadavers in a state-of-the-art facility using the latest surgical instruments and procedures.

Over the years, we have worked with and supported all kinds of students. Many are skeptical about pursuing a future in healthcare; others are nauseous at the sight of blood; some have been dreaming about becoming a physician for as long as they can remember. No matter your background, we invite you to join us for a week of exploration as we go beyond textbooks and lectures to train like a physician.
