Activities
Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the UCI School of Medicine cannot have students on campus for the 2021 summer academies. Our virtual UCI MedAcademy is a one-week (Mon-Fri) half-day experience from approximately 9AM-1PM daily. While we are continuing to develop our virtual curriculum, we anticipate our MedAcademy Scholars will take part in a variety of activities including:
- Leadership Training - Our scholars will receive instruction on being a successful physician-leader from experienced faculty and volunteers.
- Remote Procedure Workshops- Scholars will learn the basics in common medical procedures.
- Medical Student Forum- Current UCI Medical Students will give fascinating insight into the life of a medical student.
