The Health Science Honors course, which has been offered to pre-college students for several years, gives students the rare opportunity to learn how doctors think about their patients' problems and make clinical decisions on their behalf. Also, students will gauge the success of their interventions through lectures, interactions with physicians and practitioners, and visits to area hospitals and medical laboratories.  

This course will meet for 3.5 hour sessions, twice per week from July 2nd through August 9th. As a reference, the schedule for Summer 2023 was M, W; 1:30pm - 5:00pm. It is open to rising high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors. It is recommended that students have completed at least one year of biology. It will be taught in person on Tufts’ Medford campus. The course has a target enrollment of 15-30.
