About The Medical Explorers

The Medical Explorers is a co-ed club, open to all students ages 14 - 20 interested in pursuing careers in medicine or learning more about opportunities in the medical field.

Meetings consist of presentations by physicians, healthcare workers, tours within the hospital, and off-site visits. There is something new to learn at each meeting and Exploring provides valuable peer leadership, as it is youth-led.

Exploring programs are based on five areas of emphasis: career opportunities, life skills, citizenship, character education, and leadership experience

Fun activities, too!

We participate in community service activities such as our annual trick-or-treat night, holiday visitation, and interacting with children in hands-on activities at Bayfest each spring in Somers Point.

At the close of each school year, we celebrate with an annual spring trip. Previous trips include the

University of Medicine and Dentistry
The Mutter Museum
Deborah Heart and Lung Center
Liberty Science Center's Cardiac Classroom
The BodyWorlds exhibit at the Franklin Institute
