Description
Introducing the very first Future Heroines of Health Care program! This exciting, new program builds upon the three standard components shared by all SE Innovation programs, (Academia, Industry, and Culture) but with a focus on the following topics:
- the dynamic history of woman in health care
- current global health care issues facing women and girls,
- skill sets and tools needed to create and maintain positive social impact
- Future trends affecting health care and relevant changing demographics
Best of all, this unique program features distinguished female faculty, comprised of leading scientists, researchers, and industry influencers who will generously share their expertise and talent with these enthusiastic young students. Students who attend this program can expect to gain an unparalleled, up-close look at the field of medicine, which will give them valuable insights that will directly benefit their future careers. This program is dynamic, interdisciplinary in nature, and multi-dimensional in scope. We expect our attending students will be a diverse, brilliant, and engaged group of young women with a strong desire to explore, learn and grow. As always, what students take away from these programs is hard to quantify, but participants can be assured they will leave with new friends and a robust network of people who believe in them and are invested in their success.
For information on what to expect on this program, please see our program FAQs. If you wish to know more, please contact the SE team directly by phone or email.

Dr Jennie Przybylo SE Educator in Residence Harvard-Affiliated Emergency Medicine Residency Massachusetts General Hospital / Brigham & Women's Hospital Stanford School of Medicine Co-Author, "Do Good Well: Your Guide to Leadership, Action, and Social Innovation" Time and again, my career has shown me the strength, power, and potential of women in medicine. And now that women comprise the majority of students entering medical schools in the United States, there has never been a better time to be a woman in medicine. As such, it is both our duty and our great privilege to shape the future of health care, not only in the United States, but the world over. By providing an unprecedented opportunity for bright, young women to explore the field of medicine - from the thrill of saving a life as a trauma surgeon, to the joy of developing a product that revolutionizes the way people access health care - Scholastic Expeditions is nurturing the next generation of female doctors; a generation that will no doubt make its mark in clinics, labs, and board rooms across the world. |
