Fairfax Collegiate Summer 2026
Have fun and learn—while building skills that last well beyond summer.
Medical Science
Explore anatomy and physiology.
Diagnose patient cases, test reflexes, track heart rates, explore optical illusions, dissect a sheep’s eye, examine blood cells under a microscope, practice suturing, and run simulated lab tests for pathogens and drug trials.
Investigate the musculoskeletal, nervous, digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory, and lymphatic systems.
Students learn more about medical science in the real world. They participate in hands-on activities, solve medical mysteries, and think like doctors and researchers. With engaging labs and thoughtful discussions, students build confidence as they explore anatomy, physiology, disease, and diagnosis.
Families receive photos and videos capturing students as they work through labs, model body systems, and solve medical challenges. Students leave the course with stronger scientific skills, a richer understanding of human biology, and excitement about future study in medicine or the health sciences.
