Some programs are reserved for particular groups or subsets of the population, such as in-state or in-province residents, representatives of a certain cultural background or social class, as well as students affiliated with a particular religious group, and so on. This allows for those underrepresented in healthcare fields to have early exposure to medicine to encourage better representation. Other programs can be quite costly for the applicants and may only be available to those with superior academic merit or those with financial means to afford the opportunity.
Don’t be afraid to inquire into the programs to learn more. Select those related to clinical and non-clinical experiences, including global internships as they can provide breadth and depth of experiences that will shape who you are, as well as the values, skills, and attributes you will utilize to improve current healthcare discrepancies or global needs.
To select the best applicants, most programs require academic and non-academic excellence, CV or high school resume, and a written essay that outlines what you hope to obtain in the program. Below is a list of American, Canadian, and International summer programs for high school students to demonstrate the breadth of the opportunities available to you.

FAQs
1. I am interested in healthcare but my high school marks are not the best. Can I still participate in summer programs?
Yes you can. Many of the programs require you to submit a letter of intent and references which can compensate for a low GPA. There are many reasons your GPA may be low and it does not preclude you from participating.
2. I am a low income student and cannot afford to pay for summer programs.
There are many programs available to those that are financially disadvantaged and may cover your expenses with a scholarship. Others offer partial support including meals and accommodation while other programs are work experienced based and pay a small salary to support your expenses over the summer program experience. Depending where you live there may be preferential selection for your area in local programs.
3. What grade must you be in to participate in summer programs?
Each program is different however there are some programs that offer acceptance to students in grade 6 and above (National student leadership conference on medicine and healthcare), while others specify age (Oxford Royale Academy Medicine Summer school). Most are focused on students entering grade 10 or above and some are open to undergraduate or graduate students looking for additional exposure.
4. How much does it cost to participate in a healthcare related summer program?
The costs vary significantly from program to program and some offer scholarships or cover living expenses while in the program. Most do not cover costs of flights so this may differ from student to student depending on your geographical region. The fees range from paid, free and up to $7995 USD.
5. What do I need to provide in my application to the program?
The application requirements vary from program to program. Most require one or a few essays outlining your interest for healthcare and/or your knowledge of the topic. Most also require your academic transcripts from high school and up to three letters of recommendation from high school teachers. Most of the programs prefer or require these letters to come from math or science teachers and/or principals or guidance counsellors with an aim of outlining your academic abilities and interest in health.
6. When are applications due?
This varies program to program; however, most are due by early to mid-March. Each program is specific on their deadline and will not accept applications after this date. Others are rolling admissions. This means that those who apply earlier are secured a spot and those who apply later may not obtain a spot as the spots are already filled.
7. Where are the summer programs located?
There are multiple locations across the United States including Alaska. There are also programs in the UK, Canada and international travel programs to central America, Africa and Asia. Most of the programs in the United States, Canada and the UK are at the medical school or University and at affiliated hospitals. In some programs there are activities in the community for exposure, such as relevant museums or tours, and activities for recreational and bonding with fellow students. For international travel programs they are located at the local hospital, however there are multiple activities in the community and surrounding community to understand the culture, values and beliefs of the region.
8. I love travel but also want to have a healthcare related experience. Does this exist?
There are many international travel programs that also expose students to healthcare in the region. The regions are diverse including central America, Africa and Asia. Moreover, there are programs in the UK that also accept international applicants. Lastly, if you are not from the United States, many of there programs are open for international applicants which provides another opportunity for travel and exposure to healthcare.
9. I am drawn to healthcare but not medicine. Can I still participate?
Absolutely. The aim of these programs is to expose students to healthcare including medicine, nursing, rehab and pharmacy. Some programs explicitly outline that there is a variety of shadowing opportunities. Others are focused on research which may be another option related to healthcare if you are more drawn to basic or clinical science rather than patient interactions.
10. Will my participation get me into medical school?
No, these programs are designed to expose students to healthcare and research. Although participation does demonstrate interest and provide early exposure to healthcare through observerships, solely participating in summer programs does not guarantee acceptance to medical school. There are many other components of the application including your undergraduate GPA, MCAT scores, letters or recommendation and personal statements. This is merely a stepping stone to identify areas of interest and spend your summer with like-minded youth.
11. I really enjoyed my experience in one of the programs last year. Can I participate in the same program again?
Most programs prefer to have new students in the program to provide more students the opportunity to explore healthcare. If you have previously participated in one of the programs, it may be helpful to appy to a different program as all provide unique experiences that would expand your exposure and may develop new skills. If you have completed an observership opportunity, it may be helpful to complete a research based program as many physicians complete research throughout their practice. When applying to professional programs, research can demonstrate skills such as problem solving, collaboration and analytical skills that can be emphasized on your application.
