Medical Diagnosis and Treatment Summer Program

Date: July 6-10, 2026, 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m

At the UH Mānoa John A. Burns School of Medicine

This week-long summer program for current 10th-12th graders (must be 16 or older) provides an engaging, hands-on learning opportunity for students interested in health professions. The program usually includes small group problem-based learning, gross anatomy laboratory demonstrations, clinical skills laboratories, computerized manikin simulations, and simulated patient interactions that enables students to learn how to:

• describe the epidemiology, signs and symptoms, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of illnesses common in Hawaiʻi.
• perform basic clinical skills such as measuring vital signs and listening to the heart and lungs with stethoscopes.
• interview and counsel patients.

The program will be in-person at the UH Mānoa John A. Burns School of Medicine in Kakaʻako unless required by restrictions at the medical school at the time.

Registration opens on Monday March 23, 2026. Closing on April 15, 2026. 

Fee: $575 ($50 Kamaʻāina discount for Hawaiʻi residents)

A past participant, currently attending medical school, said...
“Prior to coming to MDT, I had done a lot in terms of exploring my love for math and science…But I hadn’t really, truly got to experience a lot of the more clinical things that you get to be exposed to here…For me, that was the chance to see if I could do the real, human interaction portion that is medicine.”
