Do you want to experience medicine up close?

Youth for Medicine brings you closer to discovering how a hospital works from care to research

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 10 theoretical/practical sessions on different Saturdays, which take place between the months of February 2023 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 two main hospitals in Madrid; Gregorio Marañón Hospital and La Paz Hospital. 

Among others, students will treat different specialties: pediatrics, cardiology, internal Medicine or mental diseases. Moreover, they will learn the functions of different organs and will approach surgery.

How does the Youth for Medicine program work?

The Youth for Medicine program will host young people interested in the world of health and medicine, who will visit two main hospitals in Madrid; Gregorio Marañón Hospital and La Paz Hospital. 

Participants will form groups of 25-30 students. The formation of these smaller groups has been sought to be able to offer training of the highest quality, and to facilitate the visits to the different areas of the hospital centers.

Each group will attend 5 sessions in one hospital and the remaining 5 in the other, either consecutively or alternately. All the groups will carry out the same content and specialties, but during the entire course of the program they will not coincide with other groups in the same session. The groups will not change throughout the entire program.
