The Cambridge Medicine Program 2026 is a two-week pre-college summer school for high-school students (ages 16 618) run via Best Parents on the University of Cambridge campus. Participants study medicine-focused modules including medical research, cardiovascular & respiratory physiology, and neuroscience, delivered through lectures, seminars, small-group tutorials (average 7, max 12) and practical sessions such as suturing, blood pressure measurement and dissections.
Students experience the Cambridge college environment with options for day attendance or boarding (single-occupancy rooms, shared bathrooms, college dining halls). The program includes social activities, two formal dinners in college halls, excursions (full-day trip to Oxford and an optional London trip), mentorship from Oxbridge undergraduates, and a mini science conference where students present research.
Multiple two-week sessions run in July and August 2026. Booking requires payment of a deposit and completion of an enrolment form; confirmation and full payment steps are provided after booking. The fee covers tuition, most meals and activities (see participant_fee_details for exceptions such as transfer costs).
