The Health Museum, an interactive health science museum located in the heart of the Houston Museum District, 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 June 14-19 or July 19-24, 2026.
Registration is now open for students currently enrolled in 9th – 12th grade, ages 14-18, to attend and experience behind the scenes tours of biomedical research labs, interactive workshops to learn skills like CPR and suturing, group-based challenges in ethical case studies, and an overnight dormitory experience at the University of Houston Main Campus.
Partnering with some of the brightest minds in healthcare today, the Global Teen Medical Summit experience provides access to thought leaders involved in cutting-edge medical research, clinical practice, and public health.
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 healthcare issues of today. 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 the current healthcare landscape. The week concludes with a presentation where students will be asked to pitch their solutions to healthcare challenges identified during the week to a panel of expert judges.
The cost for the summit is $1950 and includes six science-filled days of exciting hands-on sessions with medical experts, medical center visits, dorm accommodation for five 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 social events.
Museum members (Family level & above) receive a $100 discount per registrant. Applications for need-based scholarships are available here and the deadline to apply is April 15, 2026.
