Who It’s For

Every Future Medical Professional Starts Here

The Virtual Medical Program is a foundational medical course for students at the very start of the journey — future doctors, nurses, paramedics, physician assistants, surgeons, EMTs and beyond. Whatever the destination, the first steps of the path are the same.

The week covers the clinical foundations every medical professional must know: examining a patient, taking and reading vital signs, running basic diagnostics, and handling real instruments with confidence. No prior experience needed — just a student (ages 14–18) serious about a future in healthcare.

Envision by WorldStrides Apprentice Doctor®

The 5-Day Apprentice Doctor® Virtual Summer Program for Future Medical Professionals gives high school students an interactive introduction to what studying and practicing medicine can feel like in a live online setting. Designed for students considering a future in field, the program helps them better understand it before making academic decisions.

Each day of the program has two parts. Students begin with a 60 to 90 minute live Zoom session featuring a program speaker, the day’s lecture, and a Q&A. They then use the Apprentice Doctor® For Future Doctor’s Training Kit at home to complete the suggested self-study units independently for the rest of the day. In the next morning’s live session, students can discuss what they learned and ask follow-up questions. By the end of the program, students will have a clearer sense of whether a career in medicine is the right fit and will receive a certificate of participation.

Proof, Not Just Memories

Walk Away With Something You Can Put on Paper

At the end of the week students receive the Apprentice Doctor® certificate — surgeon-signed documentation of the clinical skills they trained: patient examination, vital signs, reflexes, urinalysis and diagnostics.

It belongs on the Common App, HOSA portfolios, health-science academy applications and scholarship essays. While other applicants say they’re interested in medicine, this is documentation of training already done.

J & A · Parents of a graduate

“Initially nervous about our daughter being one of the youngest attendees, we were impressed by the professionalism and the facilitators’ world-class support. Seeing her so excited and dedicated and constantly researching the medical field after the program is incredible. She’s been eagerly practicing her new skills on us — though we’ve drawn the line at stitches! We’re truly grateful for this opportunity.”

Questions Students & Parents Ask

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this program for?
US students ages 14–18 who are serious about a future in medicine or healthcare — future doctors, nurses, paramedics, physician assistants, EMTs and every path in between. The program covers the clinical foundations all medical professionals must know. No prior experience needed; Day 1 starts at the foundations and gets hands-on fast.
I already know I want to be a doctor. Is this too basic for me?
No — this is the program for you. It isn’t career-exploration fluff; it’s foundational clinical skills training: the patient examination, vitals and diagnostic basics medical students drill in their first clinical years. You’ll finish with real reps behind you and the first documented proof of hands-on clinical training on your path.
I’m not 100% sure medicine is my path yet. Should I still join?
Yes. There’s no better (or cheaper) way to find out than a week of the real thing — and the guarantee exists exactly for you. Most students finish more certain in one direction or the other. Both are wins.
What are the exact dates and times?
Monday July 27 – Friday July 31, 2026. One live session each morning starting at 8:05 AM US Eastern (60–90 minutes) — that’s 7:05 AM Central, 6:05 AM Mountain, and 5:05 AM Pacific. Early-riser families out West are welcome — just check the math before enrolling. The rest of each day is self-paced hands-on units at home, and the final schedule is emailed after enrollment.
What if I miss a live session?
This cohort is live-only — sessions aren’t recorded, which is part of what keeps the group small and the Q&A real. If you have to miss a morning, everything you need to complete the day’s practical projects — plus all the course theory — is in the Foundation Online Course, and you can bring questions to the next live session. If you can, protect the five mornings — that’s where the value is.
Is it really live — or pre-recorded videos?
Really live — and live-only. Dr. Scheepers teaches each morning session live on Zoom, with demonstrations and open Q&A — nothing pre-recorded, nothing replayed later. When it happens, you’re in the room. The afternoon practice units are guided self-study with your kit.
What do I need at home?
A reliable internet connection, a device with Zoom, and the For Future Doctors Kit™ — which ships to your door before the program. Plus one willing volunteer “patient”: a parent, sibling or grandparent is perfect. (Parents — expect a lot of free blood-pressure checks.)
Why is it so much cheaper than residential summer medical programs?
Residential programs are excellent experiences — and most of their price covers flights, housing, meals and campus facilities. This program delivers the part that matters most — live expert teaching plus a real medical kit in your hands — without the travel and overhead. Same caliber of instruction, a fraction of the price.
How does the money-back guarantee work?
Attend Day 1. If it’s not what you hoped, email us within 24 hours of the first session and we refund 100% of your payment — and you keep the entire kit. No forms, no return shipping, no hard feelings.
How does enrollment work? Is there an application?
No application, no waiting. Click any button on this page, complete secure checkout (Stripe), and you’re in: confirmation email immediately, kit ships to your US address, Zoom links arrive before Day 1. Enroll by 11:59 PM Pacific on July 21 and kit shipping is free. Late enrollment: July 22 adds a $50 expedited-shipping charge (guaranteed to arrive before Day 1); July 23 adds a $100 rush-shipping charge (arrival not guaranteed). Enrollment closes at 12:00 noon Eastern on July 23. Shipping charges are non-refundable.
Can I pay in installments?
Yes — one payment of $295, or 3 monthly payments of $105. Both options are right on this page. The payment plan is available through July 21 (11:59 PM Pacific) only.
Can students outside the USA join?
This cohort includes kit shipping within the USA only, so enrollment is US-only for July. International cohorts may follow — contact us and we’ll let you know.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes — a surgeon-signed Apprentice Doctor® certificate documenting the clinical skills you trained. Students list it on the Common App, HOSA portfolios and health-program applications.
