Explore Medicine
This course takes place on campus at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and at Yale University. Explore the basics of human anatomy as you identify different career trajectories in the exciting fields of medicine and healthcare. It's an early opportunity to strengthen interpersonal, communication, and collaboration skills—critical competencies of future medical professionals.
Expand your understanding of medicine through practical, hands-on medical simulations like cannulation, conducting a physical exam, applying splints and slings, and controlling external hemorrhaging. Investigate both the practice of medicine and biomedical research through speakers and visits to a university biomedical lab or research facility.
You’ll be staying in the historic colleges of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, or on campus at Yale University, to experience authentic undergraduate life. It’s a unique opportunity to learn about medicine in the settings where ground-breaking discoveries have been made; a taste of higher education to set you on a path to academic and career success.
Through a variety of teaching methods, including interactive lectures, workshops, project-based group work and masterclasses, you’ll gain knowledge of your subject, additional insights and the opportunity to examine and grow your ambitions.
