Our History
The Medical Immersion Scholar (MISA) was founded in 2012 in Oakland, California by Dr. Freeman, an Emergency Medicine physician at Highland Hospital. MISA works to expose pre-med and pre-health high school students to hands-on clinical experience in a variety of healthcare settings that will provide them with a competitive edge as they begin their own career in health. MISA partners with local health institutions and clinicians in the area to bring this valuable experience to interested high school students.
MISA welcomes students across the country to apply!
