ABOUT THIS CAMP

This face-to-face camp is designed for students to enjoy, have fun, and learn. Our face-to-face Pre-Medicine summer camp groups are small to give tutors and students more scope for interaction, dialogue, questions, and answers. We motivate students to develop their understanding of medicine while having fun. We encourage students to interact with medical doctors and medical students and ask questions about what it is like to study medicine and to be a medical doctor. We teach students to learn how to identify a problem and look for a solution. We also foster resilience. Sometimes, some students tend to give up easily. We teach students to try alternative solutions to a given problem.

WHAT WE TEACH

We encourage students to learn and discuss science facts and concepts in depth. We also motivate students to develop a strong understanding of biology, chemistry, and physics, and how medicine impacts our day-to-day lives. Students work on activities to develop problem-solving skills, teamwork and resilience.

TOPICS INCLUDE 

Introduction to Medical School, Circulation, Breathing, The Defence System, Genetics and Cancer, Clinical skills, Regenerative Medicine, Public Health, Anatomy, Microbiology, Emergency Medicine, Personal and Professional Development, Mental Health, Surgical Skills, Psychiatry, Life Cycle, Neuroscience, Musculoskeletal Biology, Endocrinology, Metabolism.

DIFFERENTIATION

At Richer Education, we understand that ‘one size does not fit all ‘. Therefore, our tutors and mentors differentiate the content of our sessions. We ensure that all children, regardless of their level of knowledge, are engaged at the appropriate level and pace.
