University Medical Summer is geared towards high schoolers interested in pursuing medicine. What sets us apart is that students get tangible things they can list on their resume such as AHA, ASA and ACS certifications, and a first-hand immersion experience of what medicine is like. This is important because BSMD programs want to know why one wants to go into medicine, and what type of knowledge/experiences have they had to be able to make that decision while still a teenager. Unlike other programs, UMS programs are taught by board-certified practicing physicians who are also medical school faculty and bring over 45 years of collective teaching experience. We are also independent (not owned by venture capitalists or private equity like many other pre-med summer camps) and thus can afford to be selective.
