Incredible Camps
Incredible camps are held during the months of June, July, and August. These incredible camps are held in various cities and provides each student with daily instructions on various medical topics. Students are also taught to perform many medical procedure skills.

Day Classes / Night Classes
We have classes in major cities covering a wide variety of topics and procedure skills. Class size is limited to allow adequate instruction time for each student.

Special Classes
Special Classes are held in various towns by request. Groups can have The Incredible Medical School come to their town for special classes. Sign up your group for one of the special classes currently being offered. Also, individuals are encouraged to register for a special class. When we have enough students for a full class from your town or area, you will be notified of the class and date.

 

WE ARE NOT A TYPICAL MINI MEDICAL SCHOOL!
 The Incredible Medical School, after presenting the basic science information needed, focuses more on medical procedures and skills in the camps.  The "special class" sessions provide a more in-depth basic science background prior to diagnostic test and procedures in that clinical area.  Many of the procedure skills we teach are the same procedure skills physicians learn as interns and residents after medical school.

The Incredible Medical School is not the same as the usual "Mini Med School" or "Med Camp".
Most "Mini Med Schools" meet for 2 or 3 hours a night once a week for several weeks.  They are designed to enhance you knowledge of medicine, illnesses, and health.  There is typically a clinical lecture series plus basic science as it relates to medicine that meets once a week and provide students information on some of the same subjects studies by real medical students.  Some mini med schools augment the lectures with laboratory tours, hands-on demonstrations, videos, and more.  Example topics are cell biology, biochemistry, cell metabolism, molecular biology, genetic engineering, immunology, virology, neurosciences, endocrinology, oncology, anatomy physiology, and cancer.

In some "Med Camps", students observe nurses on their daily activities, observing nursing tasks and interacting with patients through various volunteer duties.  Students spend a day with a nurse in various units of the hospital – emergency dept, obstetrics , orthopedic, geriatric, pediatric, surgery, family practice, and cardiology. Students may also have daily sessions in such things as vital signs, wheelchair safety, and concepts such as CPR.
