Medical Simulation Labs

Build medical skills and get guidance from primary care and internal medical professionals. Place IVs, suture wounds, or respond to a patient in cardiac arrest. Visit a state-of-the-art medical simulation lab to put some of these skills to the test!

Anatomy + Dissection

Explore major body systems through a fetal pig dissection. Discover how the organs and skeletal structure relate to the human body. You’ll uncover a world of medical terminology in this STEM camp.

Diagnostic Tests

Review and interpret diagnostic tests, from MRI images to hemoglobin counts in blood. Identify healthy and unhealthy tissue under the microscope. Then analyze results to suggest a diagnosis.

Case Studies

Assess a variety of patient case studies. First order imaging and lab tests. Then review symptoms and test results to make a final diagnosis for your patient. Analyze the most common symptoms—including those that still stump doctors! This will deepen your understanding of patient care and improve your diagnostic abilities.

Why EXPLO’s medical camp enrichment program

Work with medical professionals from top hospitals, practices, and simulation labs. This program is more than a traditional medical camp. It’s a summer enrichment program where you can ask questions, get advice, and make important connections. Visualize future career paths in public health, internal medicine, or a related field. You’ll step into the life of a medical doctor or nurse and put your interest into action. Each day will be a variety of case studies, hands-on practice, and discussion, so you’ll never get bored.

This is more than just a camp medical experience. It’s an enrichment program that sparks the curiosity of tomorrow’s healthcare leaders. It is an ideal medical camp for middle schoolers. Explore the healthcare field early and gain firsthand exposure to clinical environments.

My daughter learned how to suture, practiced laparoscopy at a simulation lab, and much more. She was able to experience what being a doctor would really be. It was very exciting for her and further ignited her passion for medicine. The program takes the middle schoolers seriously and gives them opportunities that because of their age usually would not be possible.

Pre-med in middle school isn't formal medical training. Programs like MPP (Medical Physician Preparation) help students prepare for future pre-med studies.

Start by focusing on science and math—these are the building blocks of medicine. Get involved in school clubs, STEM competitions, or volunteer at health-related events if possible. And try out a summer camp to see if it’s right for you!

Medical camps and enrichment programs give students a taste of real-world healthcare. They help students build skills and decide if medicine is right for them before high school.

At EXPLO’s Medical Rotations summer program, absolutely. Students suture wounds, perform intubations, place IVs, and work with diagnostic tests and simulation labs. This medical camp enrichment program format ensures every participant leaves with new skills and confidence.
