MedQUEST is a program designed to allow Grade 10 and 11 students to explore a career in health care. Students must be supported by their schools for demonstrating academic skills, leadership qualities, and interest in the fields of medicine. See our general information section for complete details.

Call for applications begins February 23rd, 2010.

Your support of a student is critical in making this project a success. Our hope is that by bringing together exceptional, motivated, like-minded students, we will be able to provide them with a spark to encourage further studies. Other programs in the US and Australia have demonstrated increases in standardized college aptitude examinations after participating in similar programs.
