Course Description
Future Doctors Program seeks to introduce students to the fundamentals of pre-medical studies. The program covers various topics including content modules on genetic inheritance, hormones, immunology, and organic chemistry. It also explores case studies on various diseases, poses medical ethics questions, and offers an opportunity to dissect scientific papers. The program also aims to prepare students for a career in medicine by providing an overview of the MCAT process, as well as the chance to hear first-hand about the process from Harvard students. Providing an extensive overview of pre-med, the program encourages students to think critically and quickly. Each day begins with an in-depth lecture covering an important aspect of the medical field ranging from genetics to organic chemistry. Students then engage in hands-on activities created to orient them to the realities.
