The future of medicine starts with confident kids.
Medical Me is a hands-on STEM program with science, problem-solving and sensory discovery that uses the real tools of medicine to make learning stick. Here's a bit about who we are and why we do this.
We bring the exam room to your kid's classroom.
We provide fun, engaging STEM/STEAM educational enrichment programs that bring medicine, science and health to life for young learners. Every activity is built to give children a real understanding and a real appreciation for the world of medicine, so they walk into a doctor's office with confidence and curiosity instead of fear.

Why I started Medical Me
After grad school, I knew I wanted to get back to working with kids, so I started coaching youth basketball and volunteering at the Boys & Girls Club in Philadelphia. While I was there, pitching new ideas, I found the one I wanted to run with: introducing children to the world of medicine.
I'm lucky to have family and friends with professional careers thoughout the world of medicine — veterinarians, doctors, surgeons and dentists. I sat down with each of them, pitched my vision, and asked for their help getting it off the ground. Between my creative streak, an outgoing personality and a genuine love for working with kids, Medical Me was born.
The doctors, dentists and veterinarians helped me build the educational side of every lesson. I took that knowledge and turned it into hands-on, role-playing activities kids could actually do, and have fun doing.
There's real joy in knowing this program plays a part in opening kids' eyes to science and medicine. Countless medical professionals, across every field, have enrolled their own kids in our camps and after-school programs, and the feedback has been amazing. The program has grown organically, and today we have doctors lining up to volunteer at our classes and camps.

The principles behind every curriculum we build.
Hands-on, always
Kids don't just hear about medicine — they practice it, with real tools and real role-play.
Confidence over fear
The goal isn't just knowledge — it's a kid who feels comfortable in a doctor's office.
Curiosity for every kid
Whether they love people, animals, biology, engineering or just asking questions — there's a curriculum for them.
