MISA is a health program designed to give pre-med & pre-health high school students hands-on clinical experience.
Including splinting, patient vitals, suturing, phlebotomy and hospital simulations
Networking events with health professionals from various fields
CPR, First Aid and AED, Stop the Bleed and Teen Mental Health Certifications
Shadowing at a Level-1 Trauma Center (pending Covid-19 updates)
Since the pandemic, we have adjusted our programming to ensure the safety of our students. This includes hosting programming at the MISA office instead of Highland Hospital and postponing all shadowing until further notice. All 2021 programming will continue to be held in-person following public health recommendations by Alameda County.
Your safety as a participant is our priority. We adhere to all public health recommendations in Alameda County to ensure we are stopping the spread of Covid-19.
Several of our hands-on workshops are held outside to ensure better air circulation.
“Every activity I participated in had an impact on me. Speaking with health professionals as well as participating in hands-on activities were extremely informative and interesting!”
