Helix Summer Medical Program8/30/2020 Program Name: Helix Summer Medical Program Type: Student/ Participant Age: At least 16 years old Program Overview: The Helix Summer Medical Program is a free, four-week program in the Bay Area that guides students through an exploration of different careers in the healthcare field. The first week of the program is an overnight stay on the UC Berkeley campus from Saturday through Friday, featuring a Core Curriculum comprised of lectures, biological and clinical labs, and professional development. In this week, students will also develop a research project to be presented to family members and community health professionals at the culminating Helix Symposium. For the next two weeks, students will participate in Clinical Shadowing with four different preceptors across the pre-hospital (Emergency Medical Services), community clinic, and hospital settings and rotate through these placements. Every Friday, students will return to UC Berkeley for Berkeley-UCSF Joint Medical Program faculty-led Clinical Shadowing Debrief sessions to openly share and discuss their weekly shadowing experiences. In the fourth and final week students will venture through Site Visits in which they will visit unique and exclusive healthcare centers and/or events including, but not limited to the Kaiser Permanente Garfield Medical Innovation Center, UCSF Cadaver Lab, and UCSF Medical School. Estimated Program Date: 4-week program runs during the summer Eligibility and Requirements: You must be at least 16 by the first day of the program in order to qualify. Unfortunately, due to state regulations governing some program activities, there are no exceptions to this rule. Target Group: Students are considering a career in the medical field and are seeking opportunities to shadow health professionals. Application Detail: Applications are currently closed and will reopen mid-October. A mandatory parent orientation will be held in order to inform parents about the program. At least one parent must be present for the student to be allowed into the program. Paperwork and legal materials will also be due in-person at this orientation.
