    Pre-Medical Enrichment Program summary

    This university enrichment program introduces medical science through anatomy and physiology activities, including suturing, casting and injections.

    Lab tours, professor interactions and healthcare career exploration make it useful for testing your interest in the subject before committing to further study.

    What is Pre-Medical Enrichment Program?

    The Pre-Medical Enrichment Program is a University of Ottawa Engineering Outreach offering that introduces medical science through practical exploration. Students study human anatomy and physiology through activities such as suturing, casting and injections.

    The experience combines university lab tours with interactions with professors and exploration of healthcare careers. Nursing, physiotherapy and pharmacy help broaden the discussion beyond becoming a physician, while introducing the training different healthcare paths require.

    Why Succeed highlights Pre-Medical Enrichment Program

    • Suturing, casting and injection activities connect medical concepts with practical exploration.

    • University lab tours give students a closer look at the environment where medical science is studied.

    • Professor interactions create opportunities to ask questions about healthcare training.

    • Nursing, physiotherapy and pharmacy broaden the program's career perspective.

    Who is Pre-Medical Enrichment Program for?

    Best for

    Students who want practical exposure to anatomy and a broader understanding of healthcare careers.

    Not ideal if

    You want an extended research project or clinical placement; the focus is introductory activities and university-based exploration.

    Is Pre-Medical Enrichment Program worth it?

    It is a useful option if you want to test your interest in medical science through practical activities and questions for people in the field. Exploring several healthcare careers can also help you make a more informed choice about further study.

    The value lies in exploration and reflection rather than treating introductory activities as proof of clinical competence. Repeated sessions use the same curriculum, so a different subject may offer more breadth than a second Pre-Medicine week.
