We do evaluate each student and look for serious, mature high-school student with strong grades and a serious interest in medicine.

Our tuition and housing fee is $2,950 for our one-week summer programs. This includes 24/7 staff, dorm-style housing, all meals and snack, 20+ hours of classroom instruction, events, speakers, and all activities, transport, and extracurriculars. The global health summer program is $3,985.

See typical day. Wake-up and breakfast starts around 7:45am each day and students have class, speakers, meals, and fun activities the entire day until lights out at 11:00pm. We know some students need more than 8 hours of sleep, and we encourage them to head to bed early if so. We do have limited, monitored free time blocks throughout the week as well when students can rest, exercise, or hang out with friends.

At Outset, our faculty consists of top-tier instructors with impressive backgrounds in medical education, career guidance, healthcare operations, healthcare technology, and more. Many of our speakers are faculty, residents or staff at an associated school of medicine. We will share a full list of instructors, speakers, and background information closer to the summer program.

We partner with student residence halls (dorms) for Outset. Rooms are  shared with one or two students of the same gender. We understand that getting a good night of sleep is critical, so if your student has trouble sleeping with another person in the room you can request a single room for an extra fee (usually $300-400). Bathrooms are shared and usually hall or suite-style. Typically the dorm has communal areas or common space where students can relax.

We do separate floors and suites by gender. Each floor has a chaperone (our camp staff) of the same gender as the students on that floor. Our employees all undergo background checks and are trained and under the 24/7 supervision of our Campus Director. Only a student or staff member’s key will grant access to the student housing, and students encouraged to always lock their rooms. Student safety is always our number one priority.

Yes, healthy meals are included. Students have access to the campus dining halls for most meals, and there will be a variety of healthy options for a balanced and nutritional diet, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We understand that good food is an important part of feeling at home. A few meals during camp will be organized through local restaurants.

Yes. Our camp staff and counselors live in the same buildings with our students and are available and nearby 24/7. The campuses where we host programs are also typically monitored by a dedicated campus security team. If you have any concerns about safety, please reach out to our team and discuss them ahead of time.
