Testimonials
-
I learned amazing things that I didn’t think I would be exposed to before medical school! Summer Springboard helped me confirm my love of medicine!
-
The classes were useful and helped shed light on different aspects of the medical field, and the various careers you can choose from within the field.
-
The Emergency Medicine track 100% confirmed that science is what I want to study in college and that I want to be on the pre-med track. I did in fact mention the program in my application more than once. I made sure to include it in my activities section as well as two essays for two different colleges.

Honestly everything, the RAs, the trips, the teachers, the campus. It was all amazing to me. I was apart of the emergency medicine track, and I’ve found myself using different skills I’ve learned even in different subject. I’ve used suture knots in my art and bio classes. I’ve gotten to help other people make basic decisions if something hurts based off of what I learned. It was a really valuable experience. I also made a lot of amazing friends, and still talk to them this day.

Hands-On Learning
Previous excursions have included a visit to the STRATUS Center for Medical Simulation in Boston, Yale New Haven Hospital Emergency Department, the UCSF Zuckerberg General Hospital, the Henry Mayo Memorial Hospital and the UC San Diego School of Medicine Simulation Center. The Emergency Medicine students' excursions to the SIM labs included hands-on practice in stitching, suturing, intubation, and BLS skills led by leading medical trainers. Visits provide first-hand observations of working in a high pressure yet life-saving environment of an emergency room. Students also have the opportunity to see the inner-workings of an ambulance, with an additional opportunity for practical applications of skills learned.
