Innovations in Health Professions
Boston Campus Program—July 9-21, 2023
Discovering the healthcare solutions of tomorrow
Through this two-week long interactive experiential program, students will explore the broad scope of careers in health professions within different fields such as health science, nursing, physical therapy, physician assistant, and speech-language pathology and audiology. Specific modules are currently being determined. Last summer, students participated in medical simulations, visited an ambulance dispatch center, practiced clinical skills, and completed an advanced CPR certification and Stop the Bleed program.
Learning Outcomes

Using an interprofessional model, students will work in teams to problem solve and plan for common and novel solutions to health care dilemmas.

The Innovations in Health Professions pre-college program through Northeastern University provided great preparation and understanding into the field of medicine and its requirements. I appreciated the diversity of students and staff within the program as well as the on-campus experience. Through learning how to suture, how to perform an ultrasound, and by participating in a protein lab, I left the program with a strong desire to continue my studies in the field of medicine with the hopes of one day becoming a Physician Assistant.
