Wake Forest University offers a comprehensive online course in Medicine that provides a unique perspective into the field of healthcare. The course is designed to give high school students an insider's view of a working hospital, showcasing the roles of various medical professionals including paramedics, ER physicians, anesthesiologists, nurses, physical therapists, and surgeons. The curriculum explores the journey of a patient suffering a heart attack, from experiencing chest pains at home to their recovery post-treatment, and covers the anatomy of the heart, social and lifestyle factors contributing to heart disease, and the treatment protocols in place for such patients. The course is delivered online and is facilitated by Wake Forest School of Medicine professors Dr. Lindsay Strowd and Dr. Roy Strowd. Dr. Lindsay Strowd is an Assistant Professor in Dermatology, and Dr. Roy Strowd is an Assistant Professor in Neurology. Both have completed their MD from Wake Forest School of Medicine and have extensive research experience, with their work published in leading scientific journals. Additional support and guidance are provided by mentors who are either graduates or current students of Wake Forest University with diverse experiences in the medical field. The Medicine course is offered in multiple sessions of varying lengths, from 1 to 4 weeks. The cost for each session is $1,495.00, and the course is open to students aged 13 and above. The application process is straightforward, and no transcripts or letters of recommendation are required. Not only does the course provide insights into the academic, scientific, and practical training required in different healthcare professions, but it also helps students understand whether a future in medicine aligns with their interests. Upon completion, participants receive a Certificate of Completion from Wake Forest University and have the opportunity to showcase what they've learned in a final Capstone project.
