The program offers a rigorous, hands-on introduction to medical school experiences, combining classroom learning with practical simulation labs and direct engagement with BU faculty and graduate students.
The Boston University Academic Immersion (AIM) Introduction to Medicine program offers high school students a comprehensive three-week experience designed for those interested in pre-medical or health career paths. Participants engage in intensive study through morning seminars led by BU faculty, focusing on core medical topics such as anatomy and physiology, infectious diseases, and contemporary issues in medicine. Afternoons are dedicated to hands-on experiential learning activities, including simulation labs for clinical skills like physical exams and taking vital signs, surgical technique workshops (suturing and surgical knots), anatomy lab work, and explorations of medical imaging. The latter half of the program involves lab-based physiology projects, culminating in presentations to the Boston University academic community. The program aims to deepen students' understanding of medical sciences, provide practical experience akin to that of graduate medical students, and introduce the diverse professions within the medical field.
Each weekday, students attend classes in the morning and engage in experiential learning activities in the afternoon, with evenings free for homework and social activities.
This program is ideal for engaged, motivated high school students entering their junior or senior year who want to intensively explore the field of medicine.
