The Academies by Harvard Student Agencies

By the end of their program at The Academies, operated by Harvard Student Agencies, attendees will gain a good understanding of what life as a medical student might really have in store for them.

All medical fields are covered by the programs, which involve interacting with Harvard medical students as well as being taught key clinical skills by professionals. Participants can apply for one of two options, focusing on either anatomy and physiology or biology and chemistry.

The biology and chemistry focus centers on a specific genetic disorder or disease, culminating in a presentation that reflects a deep study of the topic. For human anatomy and physiology students, practical aspects include case studies, blood work, and medical imagery.

These respected Harvard programs are open to grades 9 through 12, run for a week and cost $1450. Need-based scholarships are available to both US-based and overseas students.
