Early exposure provides a glimpse into the subject and the expansive scope of the field. Prior knowledge becomes your valuable head start, enabling you to meticulously plan and prepare for your aspirations.
The realm of biomedical sciences opens doors to a myriad of career possibilities – from Medical Researcher and Research Scientist to Pathologist, Geneticist, Scientific Journalist, Physiotherapist, and beyond. This dynamic field offers diverse paths for those are passionate about learning and making an impact.
Overall, I would recommend courses here to other premed students or academically driven students, however I would recommend previous knowledge in the chosen field (ie having taken previous classes such as AP Biology). The concepts of the course are communicated. the examples/case-studies/illustrations used in the class improved the learning experience, and the class was fast paced and highly informational. I wish there was more information given about the final project, specifically towards those who had not yet written official research papers, but it was a great opportunity/experience overall. I would highly recommend for those who wish to peruse a career in biomedicine as the course was highly informative and stimulated curiosity.

Elio Academy has been a part of my life for the past two years, and I am so grateful for all of the opportunities in biomedical research that it has given me. I participated in a summer program for two weeks in 2022, and I am part of the Extended Fall Research Program in 2023. Both programs have taught me so much, and enhanced my knowledge of biomedical research. The instructors are engaging, accommodating, and helpful, and the overall program is extremely informative and just a really amazing opportunity. I highly recommend this program, as it has helped me scientifically in many ways, and forced me to think and ask questions. Elio Academy has shaped me as a scientist, student, and researcher, and I cherish and appreciate everything that it has given me.

Participating in this course has been a fantastic experience. I would like to thank you very much for the instruction throughout these weeks, without a doubt a wonderful teacher. The lectures were never boring and you could easily understand everything no matter how difficult the topics were. This program is more than useful for students interested in the world of science. This program is very beneficial, I definitely recommend it!

At Elio, I enrolled in the neuroscience course, not fully knowing if it was for me. Coming from Romania, where I never had the chance to choose my subjects, this was a huge leap. What an experience it's been! In just three months, my knowledge has grown immensely. I've learned about complex topics like stellate ganglion blocks and solutions for Anosmia – stuff I'd never even heard of. The best part? My advisor. Despite being 10 hours apart, they're always available, never letting the distance hinder our communication. They believe in my research, think it has the potential to be published, and their encouragement is unmatched. It's not just a course; it's a transformation. For anyone considering it, this might be the best decision you'll make.

In terms of the course format, each session provides the opportunity for one-on-one discussions with the mentor, allowing for learning and problem-solving. In terms of content, this time I engaged in research on HBV-related HCC, I gained a more comprehensive understanding of this common disease and learned about the most cutting-edge treatment methods. The biggest takeaway from this project for me is the accumulation of experience in reading and writing comprehensive reviews. I believe this will greatly benefit my college studies.

Elio Academy gives early exposure to biomedical science, it gives an idea of how to utilize the knowledge gained in class, in the current field of science. During the program, I truly enjoyed every single lecture, especially the hands-on exercise on so many different databases. The instructors are very supportive and ready to help you at any point.

Elio Academy is a great program to take if you are interested in the science field. The instructor is amazing and very helpful in guiding you in the process and to learn! But if you are not sure in science and medical field, and just want to see what Elio is like, it is still very useful in helping develop and strengthen research skills.

I took the genetics, genomics, and cancer biology course over the summer, and it was an awesome experience! This course was fully online, and at the end we wrote our own reports and created a poster. I had taken some courses on similar topics in the past, but background knowledge of the topics was not necessary and I still learned new things. There was also lots of hands on learning along with the lectures. I recommend this course to anyone who enjoys genetics, and I would definitely consider taking more courses with Elio.

I took the Genomics Summer Course at Elio Academy of Biomedical Sciences, and it has been one of my favorite high school programs. I definitely recommend this course to anyone passionate about molecular biology/genetics, cancer biology, bioinformatics, etc. The morning lectures are extremely informative and helpful for our project reports. In the afternoon, we would use the information we learned to formulate our report. Creating a project report is the best part of this course. Overall, I would say this course is for anyone wanting to shine in the biomedical field.

Every single day the class hits the ground running with a planned out curriculum, while also managing to always answer any questions anyone has. The classes were a great introduction to the Genetics & Genomics field, and the resources they provide the students are extremely beneficial (You get to keep all the tools afterwards as well). Elio is very friendly, and if you have the motivation to log on every single day of the course, you will learn a lot.

I truly enjoyed working with an amazing team such as Elio Academy of Biomedical Sciences. Throughout their course, I was able to gain a lot of knowledge on interesting topics. The topics that are taught throughout the course are truly helpful when it comes to writing the research. The program offers flexibility with your research topic and assistance when writing your research. This program is fantastic for anyone who wants to discover more aspects of science. The program is great for middleschoolars, highschoolars, college students, and more since the topics that are taught meet all ages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who are the instructors?
Our instructors are PhD/MD/DMD from top universities, and have years of experience delivering complex concepts to relatively young students.
They hold publication track record form Industry and academia, and and serve as real-life role models for the students.
Foundation or Accelerator - Which of the tracks is better for me?
Foundational tracks courses are introductory programs with 2hr/day for 2 weeks whereas accelerator track programs are advanced and immersive and dealing with the subject in depth. Our accelerator track programs include pre-med and college-level curriculum.
Many of the accelerator track students pursue delving deeper into a specific topic of interest via Extended Research Program (ERP).
What is the difference between your commuter and online programs? We might not be ready for in-person camp yet.
Our commuter and online programs share the same course curriculum, instructors, and quizzes. The main difference between the two programs is the project. In the online course, the focus is on guided research with the instructor, whereas in the commuter program, students learn about various lab-based techniques and experiments.
Both online and commuter courses ensure a customized curriculum around the topics the students want to learn, with very able and inspiring Instructors.
