The Physics for Future Doctors Summer Program is a one-week on-campus program offered by WCM-Q’s Office of Student Outreach & Educational Development in the Pre-medical Division. It is designed to provide motivated high school students with an opportunity to hone their physics problem-solving skills, emphasizing medically relevant examples.
To take part in the program, students must possess a good foundation in the physical sciences, demonstrated by a higher-level physics course in their high school as well as adequate English language proficiency. Additionally, students must be interested in pursuing a career in a STEMM-relevant field (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, and Medicine).
