Program Highlight:

Brigham + Women's STRATUS Center

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.
