About Program
As a UMI student, you will spend the majority of your two week program 'immersed' in the operating rooms in Shanghai and Hangzhou, China. Our past participants have witnessed all types of surgeries with physician interaction and mentoring. Examples of past surgeries are but not limited to; open heart, brain, lung, orthopedic, live C section and natural births, hip and other join replacements, and many others.
You will NOT be above in a remote viewing area or watching via broadcast, but you WILL be in the operating room, standing at the table with the surgical team. You will also spend several hours per week shadowing physicians, nurses and other health care professionals.
You will also spend time in gross anatomy labs and in educational sessions with current med school students. Overall, the Youth Futures International UMI provides you with an intensive in medicine most people do not experience until into medical school.
