MSA offers high school students (11th & 12th grade & recent graduates) a two-week summer program in which they will experience an academic medical school environment by participating in small group instruction, hands-on laboratory experiments, and clinical shadowing experience.
Thirty-two MSA students will be active participants in a Problem Based Leaning (PBL) modality in which groups of students (8) and a facilitator will utilize a case presentation format to explore selected medical concepts and the supportive medical science data that supports those concepts. The laboratory experiences are designed to expose the MSA students to hands-on practical clinical skills, e.g. splinting, suturing, CPR and Basic First Aid.
At the graduation program, MSA students will participate in a group presentation of the clinical case and individually report on their clinical shadowing experience.
Support materials for the case presentation will be gained through the anatomy/physiology lectures, PBL case discussions and the use of the students’ personal copy of an anatomy/physiology textbook.
Through out the first week information will be presented on health career opportunities in primary care medicine and how students can prepare for them academically. The overall academy program is consistent with activities designed in the training of primary care practitioners.
