At Lleó XIII we love to brag about our students and today is the turn of Aina Palop, a 1st year science baccalaureate student who has been one of the 150 selected to participate in the 3rd edition of the “Youth for Medicine” program.
What is Youth for Medicine?
It is a course aimed at 1st and 2nd year baccalaureate interested in degrees related to medicine. The main objective is for the students to get to know up close how to work in a hospital from assistance to research. They will be able to get a taste of how different diseases are diagnosed and treated, and what research is being carried out to better understand them and find more effective treatments to combat them.
The program consists of 18 theoretical/practical sessions on different Saturdays, which take place between the months of November 2022 and May 2023. In these sessions, the different services and specialties that exist within a hospital are discussed, based on the face-to-face visit to the different leading hospitals in the metropolitan area of Barcelona. Among others they will treat different specialties: pediatrics, neurosciences, cancer or mental illness. They will learn the functions of different organs and will approach surgery.
