Outset Reviews 106

Our daughter had a wonderful time at Outset. It was just the right mix of lectures, hands-on training, and fun. She came back with so much knowledge of what is needed to get into pre-med/medical school and how she can prepare, as well as new ideas of areas she might want to specialize in one day. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this program.

I think that Outset was an outstanding experience based upon the feedback we received from our daughter. She has been to many academic and athletic camps and she has noted that it has been the best one. The access to medical professional, the campus tours, and the professionalism from the counselors and camp staff was outstanding. Any parents who has a child who is interested in the medical profession should sign their child for this opportunity. My daughter enjoyed the experience and came back with a much better understanding and passion for a career in medicine. Thanks Outset for putting together a great camp!!!!

For my daughter, it was like fulfilling a dream to be there.
Thank you for making those special days that she shared with people like those who organize this program
in what she has wanted to involve since she was a child. If they were so pleasant for people who are interested in medicine, I want to tell them to take advantage of this experience because my daughter arrived with more energy to move forward with her goal of being a doctor
thanks to all the experiences you shared with her thanks to everyone who is involved in this program thank you for your attention to the youth and beginning to guide them so that they can continue forward
hopefully and that this program continue to help more young people make their decision as it helped my daughter
thanks to everyone who participates in the organization for this program

The Outset camp experience was phenomenal from start to finish! The application process and the communication that followed was astounding. My daughter learned so much and spoke very highly of the staff of Outset and her experience as a whole. She is definitely prepared and further motivated for upcoming undergrad and then medical school application processes. This was a great investment for her future and I HIGHLY recommend to any parents considering Outset!

Engaging, immersive, and informative. All of the councilors and my peers were very kind.

My daughter learned so much and Outset has significantly sparked her interest in pursuing a career in medicine. As a physician, I found the medical cases they discussed fascinating and the hands-on experience in learning procedures was a major plus! Providing a comprehensive insight into medicine and the journey to get there while still in high school is priceless!

What an amazing medical program. My daughter loved the campus, her roommate, and all the kids were very nice and friendly. The student counselors were super nice, kind, and very friendly towards the her and her friends. The program itself was amazing and very informative. My daughter did amazing activities regarding medicine that she never thought she would do. Overall, this program really ensured in her love and desire to pursuit medicine as a career path.

This program was very informative for anyone interested medicine. The curriculum was filled with helpful tips and hands on learning experiences. Also, the program was filled with great staff, speakers, and other presenters that clearly laid out the medical path. I would definitely recommend Outset to any teen who is considering the path of medicine.

Outset was a great experience for me. The content in the presentations regarding undergraduate and graduate studies were very informative, and the hands-on activities provided a realistic experience to what a physician does. On top of that, I met a lot of great people, and the counselors and staff were extremely friendly.

I found this program, extremely informational and very helpful in learning about the medical profession and what actionable steps I can do as a high schooler to get there. I really enjoyed the hands on work to do in the school of medicine and interacting with educators that have experienced this field.

My daughter attended the Outset program in June of 2024. She had an absolutely amazing experience! The kids had great hands on experience related to the medical field, great class room experience and had a lot of fun activities to keep them entertained. The staff was amazing and responded quickly with questions. I highly recommend Outset to others.

The camp taught a lot about medical school and the medical field in general while still staying entertaining with activities like going to a baseball game and having a pool party. Staff were very responsible and organized.
Overall great experience.

My rising Senior who is very inclined towards the Healthcare industry has to say nothing but "All Praises " about the Outset program. It was very informative and hands on. Even being High schoolers , our kids got an opportunity to be in the UNC Med School campus and take part in medical activities which is otherwise only possible for a Med student . It was very well chaperoned and organized so we felt safe about our high-school kid to be out there . A perfect balance of informative plus fun activities , makes this program all the more interesting. We also loved the subjects discussed in the seminars as it gave a very clear idea about different genres of Healthcare industry, how Med shool works, about the admission process and then practical hands-on lab / OR activities and very impressed that these seminars were conducted by esteemed Doctors and Professors .We are very glad that we chose Outset for this very crucial summer before college applications start and our daughter has a lot of confidence and clarity about applying for Pre med for her undergrad program after this experience. Thanks to the entire team of outset and especially Mr. Lawson for doing this for our future Healthcare personals !

It was incredibly informative, we learned so much in such a short amount of time, while still having plenty of time for fun activities. All the learning was interactive, engaging and including all students. The staff were also fantastic!

This program was attended by my high school sophomore kid. Team took a very good personalized care of each of the student. My kid learnt a lot during this week long program and hope this will help in the long run to shape their career.

Everything was great about the whole program. We got to meet like minded people, tour the campus, and most importantly we got to get in depth explanation of the different paths that can be taken to get to med school. The cherry on top was the great supportive staff and counselors (shout out tim)

This was a great program for me and I would recommend it to anyone figuring out whether or not they want to go into medicine. First of all, the program staff was so amazing! We got to hear from actual medical students which was very beneficial for me because it gave me a perspective of what the days are like and the range of years it takes to complete school. There were also a couple of guest speakers, some from the admissions department, some UNC teachers, and some real doctors. The speakers from the admissions department really helped me get a sense of what you need to have on your application to make it into Med. school and what I can start to do for the rest of high school and college that will give me an edge on the competition. Overall, I think it was a very beneficial program that I would recommend to anyone who thinks they are interested in medicine!

Outset is an amazing program for any teen interested in a career in medicine. The entire week is focused on preparation: Whether it be from high school to college, college to med school, or med school to a career, it is covered in this one week experience. They provide excellent simulations and speakers that help students understand better what practicing medicine looks like. Besides that there are fun and engaging activities for after a long day of learning! This and so much more makes Outset a great option.

From a parent’s perspective, we thought it was great. Communication throughout the process with Lawson excellent. It was well organized and well staffed from the beginning of the application process to check-in and check-out. Our daughter said she had a great time. We are grateful she had such a professional experience. Mom here is loving the book “When Breath Becomes Air.” Thank you.

Participating in the Outset Summer Program at the University of North Carolina has been an extraordinary and transformative experience. This program exceeded my expectations in every way and provided a week filled with learning, growth, and inspiration.
