This program is for high school students interested in pursuing a career in medicine or medical research. This two-week summer offering for high school students extends a hybrid learning experience, blending in-person and synchronous online learning. You'll be exposed to a variety of medical specialties, including Surgery, Emergency Medicine, Cardiology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, and Neurology, and gain vital research skills through interactive simulations and hands-on workshops.
Learners will review various simulation-based education equipment, best uses, features, maintenance, troubleshooting, pros/cons, and the ROI on various simulation equipment types to develop their educational technology evaluation skills. Various manikin types, screen-based simulation programs, and VR/AR/XR methodologies will be evaluated. Hands-on practice with basic troubleshooting will be completed during this course, using various modalities. The roles of the operations specialists in maintaining, troubleshooting and evaluating contracts, warranties, and equipment for purchase will be discussed.
