High School Summer Medicine Intensive

Discover a career in medicine.

At the NSLC Medicine Intensive, you’ll examine specialties in medicine and discover if the fast pace of an emergency room, the triumph of rehabilitation therapy, or the long-term impact of family practice is the right choice for your future career.

It was an unreal experience that I will continue to talk about for months. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to come here and obtain such valuable information and advice.
