See typical day. Wake-up and breakfast starts around 7:45am each day and students have class, speakers, meals, and fun activities the entire day until lights out at 11:00pm. We know some students need more than 8 hours of sleep, and we encourage them to head to bed early if so. We do have limited, monitored free time blocks throughout the week as well when students can rest, exercise, or hang out with friends.

At Outset, our faculty consists of top-tier instructors with impressive backgrounds in medical education, career guidance, healthcare operations, healthcare technology, and more. Many of our speakers are faculty, residents or staff at an associated school of medicine. We will share a full list of instructors, speakers, and background information closer to the summer program.

We partner with student residence halls (dorms) for Outset. Rooms are  shared with one or two students of the same gender. We understand that getting a good night of sleep is critical, so if your student has trouble sleeping with another person in the room you can request a single room for an extra fee (usually $300-400). Bathrooms are shared and usually hall or suite-style. Typically the dorm has communal areas or common space where students can relax.

Yes. Our camp staff and counselors live in the same buildings with our students and are available and nearby 24/7. The campuses where we host programs are also typically monitored by a dedicated campus security team. If you have any concerns about safety, please reach out to our team and discuss them ahead of time.
