The Apprentice Doctor® Intensive Medical & Surgical Skills Workshops 2024 – USA

Testimonial (parents):

“Dear Dr. Anton and Team,

Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity presented in December for our daughter to attend the Apprentice Doctor medical program. We were slightly nervous knowing she is one of the youngest attendees at the onset, but the professional way the course was presented and the assistance offered by the facilitators was world-class.

We have never seen our daughter so excited & committed. She has not since the program completion stopped doing research on anything to do with the medical profession. Thank you for igniting this passion in her even more. PS: I can safely say that everyone in our family is in good health, as she has numerous times taken our blood pressure etc. as she wanted to practice what she was taught on everyone in the family. We drew the line at putting in stitches, though. 

Forever grateful for the opportunity.” – Johnston family

“When your heart bursts in your chest with pride and excitement, it really is hard to find words to thank you!! This experience did not only confirm that Janine wants to pursue a career in medicine, but it is also now carved in stone!!

This SUPER program offered her knowledge, skills, and insights to her future, but it also developed a part of her which is priceless for any parent. Seeing the massive change in her after the weekend was just phenomenal!  For her, the realization of the capabilities and the passion she has was surely one of the highlights.

Thank you, to each person, who made this weekend a weekend Janine will never forget.  For teaching her and for allowing her to learn and discover who she is and will be as a doctor someday. We are forever grateful to you and we will recommend the Apprentice Doctor Programs to each person crossing our roads, who has an interest in medicine.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!

Jayla and Andrew”

Getting into Medical school is highly competitive!

“The days of getting into medical school with only top grades to offer are forever gone – students need to load their resume with a lot more – they must convince the selection committee that they are earnest about becoming a doctor by adding the extras that will distinguish them from the average applicant.” Prof. Andrew Mason – Selection committee of several Med Schools (over the years)

Ten reasons why you should attend one of these Medical/Surgical Programs:

1. Enjoy a week of medical immersion.
2. Gain numerous clinical (medical and surgical) skills.
3. Learn “how to suture wounds,” the same training that numerous medical students get.
4. Interact with several medical professionals.
5. Add an accredited Apprentice Doctor® Certificate to your resume.
6. Meet like-minded students and exchange ideas and information.
7. You learn how to scrub up for surgery – making a visit to the O.R. a more meaningful experience.
8. Get emergency medicine training – know what to do in a medical emergency.
9. Impress any pre-medical/nursing/PA program/medical school selection committee.
10. Get the opportunity to start an Apprentice Doctor® Chapter or Club at your school.
