Unique in its depth and comprehensiveness, our annual healthcare summer program for high school students is now open for applications. For the 6th year running, the Jiahui Health Scholar Program provides an immersion in a truly international medical environment and enables students to acquire the skills and knowledge that will give them a head-start if they wish to pursue a career related to medicine or life sciences.
This year, Jiahui provides students with an upgraded Health Scholar experience, allowing them to learn and benefit from an even more varied array of workshops and lectures within a short amount of time.
About the Jiahui Health Scholar Program
Career choices are made early in life and high school students are faced with many questions when it comes to choosing their future career paths. At Jiahui Health, we believe that getting first-hand experience in the field of interest is the best way to enable students to make informed decisions about their future studies and the career they hope to pursue.
Blending lectures, hands-on workshops, shadowing experiences and direct interactions with physicians and other medical staff, the program enables students to experience different departments within a healthcare institution and provides them with practical skills required in the medical field.
