Here’s a short film (8 minutes), “The Stanford Medical Youth Science Program” (SMYSP).
The program invites high school seniors, usually from lower income areas, to spend five weeks in a summer dorm program learning some basic medicine, with the idea of future medical school in mind.
The video dates back to 2010, but there may be a newer one.
NBC4 (NBC Washington) had announced on Tuesday, July 26 that it was going to show a report on teens and medical school, but the report never surfaced. I think it may be related to the Stanford program.
Jack Andraka now attends Stanford. (Books, March 18, 2015; TV, Nov. 26, 2013)
