Hosted by our university, the "High School Medical Camp: An Enjoyable Journey into the Magical World of Medicine," held between June 23–27, 2025, brought together high school students from across Turkey with the future of medicine.

Aimed at high school students who are either considering a career in medicine or are still undecided, the primary goal of the camp was to offer a closer look at the medical profession and to inform students about the educational path leading to becoming a doctor.

The program was coordinated by Prof. Dr. Nurdan Tözün, Prof. Dr. Serap Arbak, and Lecturer Dr. Demet Dinç, with contributions from faculty members of Acıbadem University School of Medicine and experienced clinicians from Acıbadem Healthcare Group.

Throughout the camp, students received insights into core areas of medical education, including genetics, bioinformatics, anatomy, physiology, pathology, biochemistry, neuroscience, gynecology, internal medicine, surgery, orthopedics, pediatrics, medical engineering applications, and cancer prevention methods. Additionally, they were introduced to the structure and stages of medical education itself.

The first two days of the program took place at Acıbadem University campus, where students participated in theoretical classes and laboratory tours. They also visited the CASE Simulation Center, gaining hands-on experience in practical medical training. On the third and fourth days, students attended lectures and clinical tours at Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital and Acıbadem Dr. Şinasi Can Hospital, where they had the opportunity to reinforce their knowledge through real-life clinical observations.

On the final day, students returned to the university campus for concluding lectures and received their Certificates of Achievement during a special closing ceremony.

The High School Medical Camp provided young participants with a memorable experience, raising awareness about career choices while introducing them to the world of medicine and the art of healing.
