<p>Are there any good med programs out there?</p>
<p>i attended nylf-med last summer, and that was pretty good, but is there something really prestigious that DOESNT cost 2 grand??
i mean, it was a good experience, but a big part of me felt like they were just after the $$$. it was deff not worth all 2000 dollars my parents paid.</p>
<p>i feel like there really isnt anything out there for high schoolers interested in medicine. well nothing really good, save gov school.</p>
<p>well i went to the upenn biomedical science one but it was expensive as **** (like 5k)</p>
<p>yeah see thats what i mean....there arent really any selective programs (like tasp, gov school, etc) which are more about the medicine and less about the green. its frustrating.</p>
<p>but how was that program?</p>
<p>It was pretty sweet. We had some awesome lab time, small group discussions on scientific articles, and lectures. </p>
<p>Penn</a> Summer Science Academy: Biomedical Research</p>
<p>it's decent at explaining what we did but I wish they put more emphasis on the small project groups. Those were amazing and I'm returning next summer to work in our small project leaders lab.</p>
<p>Are you in Pittsburgh? The Pennsylvania Governor’s School has a Health summer camp, which I believe is free, held at University of Pittsburgh’s school of medicine, for 11th and 12 th grade students The</a> Pennsylvania Governor's Schools of Excellence - Health Care. </p>
