Greetings and Welcome

Start the morning getting acquainted with your fellow pre-med students over breakfast. You’ll then meet your patient: receive their file, hear their story, and begin thinking like a physician.

“Doctors on Call”

Throughout the course of the day you will move between large group sessions and small hands-on labs where you’ll practice the real skills doctors use, like taking a patient’s history, checking vital signs, conducting a physical exam, and reading diagnostic results.

As new information about your patient emerges throughout the day, you’ll work with your group to decide what tests to order, what the results mean, and what to do next. 

MD “Rotations”

Specialties spotlight

In the afternoon, you’ll hear from physicians practicing across different specialties before you return to your case for a final push: a diagnosis decision with real stakes.

Q&A sessions

The day closes with a live Q&A with SGU alumni. followed by your certificate of completion.

Course completion recognition

At the end of the day, you will receive a certificate of completion.
