What your child will actually do
Live, mentor-led sessions - worked problems and real output, not lectures.
1
Solve six medical mysteries
Role-play the clinician: gather clues, rule things out and reach a diagnosis with a mentor guiding the reasoning.
2
Explore the body system by system
Heart, lungs, brain, immunity - taught through cases rather than textbook diagrams.
3
Build a Casebook Portfolio
Every case gets written up, so your child finishes with something tangible they are proud of.
4
Present a capstone health project
A short, well-rehearsed Demo Day presentation - usually the first time they present to adults outside school.
Skills your child will gain
Named, practised skills - grouped the way universities read them, tied to how each is used in this fellowship.
Thinking & analysis
How your child breaks a problem down before touching it.
- Anatomy and physiology fundamentals
Practised on live problems in every session - never taught as theory.
- Symptom-to-system thinking
Mentors make your child justify each step out loud before moving on.
- Note-taking from a live expert
Applied to unfamiliar medicine & healthcare material, not rehearsed examples.
Communication
Writing and speaking so an adult expert takes them seriously.
- Speaking about medicine accurately
Rehearsed in front of a mentor and peers, then corrected on the spot.
Working with people
Deadlines, teams, feedback - the habits universities and employers notice.
- Team case discussion
Built through real deadlines and written mentor feedback.
Projects they finish with
Sample briefs from recent cohorts - the actual work that comes out of the programme, not a syllabus.
The main project
“What is worth building in medicine & healthcare in 3 weekends · 6 live sessions?”
What they hand inA finished fellowship project - the piece that goes into the portfolio.
Middle of the programmeFinal presentation
“Can they explain the work to someone who was not there?”
What they hand inA live presentation plus mentor feedback in writing.
Final sessionA first medical case write-up
The fellowship closes with your child presenting a case they have worked through themselves - the first genuine piece of medical work in the profile, and the natural bridge into the Future Doctors Fellowship.
What you end up holding
- A case write-up in your child's own words
- Named completion certificate
- A clear yes or no on medicine as a direction

How this strengthens their university profile
The point isn't the certificate. It's the line a family can honestly write afterwards - and the artefact sitting behind it.
Before
"My child is interested in medicine & healthcare."
Nothing an admissions officer can check.
After Junior Doctor Fellowship
"My child completed Junior Doctor Fellowship and finished a first medical case write-up."
A line with an artefact behind it.
Why this fellowship counts
Depth. A fellowship is the spine of a profile - several weeks with one mentor, one field and one finished piece of work at the end. This is what turns "interested in medicine" into evidence.
A pre-med narrative that shows clinical curiosity, not just good biology grades.
What a university can verify
- A case write-up in your child's own words
- Named completion certificate
- A clear yes or no on medicine as a direction
- A finished capstone or research piece
- Mentor feedback in writing

Mentors who make medicine feel possible
Sessions are led by mentors from top universities who are close enough in age to be relatable and experienced enough to be trusted. The tone is curious and encouraging - never a lecture.
Parents usually ask
Is Grade 5 too young?
No. The cases are written for ages 10–14 and use everyday language. Curiosity matters far more than science background.
What if my child is shy?
Cohorts are deliberately small so quieter students get spoken to by name every session, and Demo Day is rehearsed before it happens.
What comes next?
Most families move on to the Future Doctors Fellowship in Grade 8 or 9, which goes far deeper into clinical reasoning.
