The Health Museum Global Teen Medical Summit

The Health Museum is offering high school students the opportunity to explore modern-day health and bioscience challenges with experts from the Texas Medical Center at the annual Global Teen Medical Summit this summer from July 13-18, 2025.

Registration is now open for students currently enrolled in 9th – 12th grade, ages 14-18, to attend and experience behind the scenes tours of hospitals and labs, group-based challenges in ethical case studies, and an overnight dormitory experience at the University of Houston in Downtown Houston.

Partnering with some of the brightest minds in medicine today, the Global Teen Medical Summit experience provides access to thought leaders involved in cutting-edge medical research, clinical practice, policy, and entrepreneurship.

Throughout the week, the team will work on a design concept with mentorship from renowned healthcare professionals, attend workshops, hear from leading speakers, and generate new ways of thinking about the most pressing medical issues of the day. Together with peers, they’ll define areas of opportunity and explore how to respond ethically to the issues and challenges, putting theory into practice within today’s healthcare landscape.

Attendees will have opportunities to visit the world renown Texas Medical Center to engage with critical care professionals at a Level 1 Trauma Hospital and see what it’s like to be a medical student with an exclusive visit to a distinguished medical school.

The cost for the summit is $1650-$1750 and includes five science-filled days of exciting hands-on sessions with medical experts, medical center visits, dorm accommodation for four nights (4-person suites on the University of Houston campus), three meals per day, plus daily transportation to and from dorms, site visits, excursions, and team-building events.

Museum members (Family level & above) receive a $100 discount per registrant. Need-based scholarships are available and the deadline to apply is May 15, 2025.
