What Is Rady Children's Summer Medical Academy?
Summer Medical Academy is Rady Children's signature two-week health-career exploration program for high-school-age students. Its established model combines lectures and interactive discussions with hands-on skills clinics, group projects, career panels, team building, networking, and self-care. Health professionals, college or young-adult group mentors, program staff, and community partners help students explore the range of medical training and practice and reflect on their motivation for a health career.
The key current fact is status: Rady's Medical Academy page crosses out and explicitly cancels both 2026 Summer Medical Academy sessions. The planned June 15-26 and July 6-17 sessions did not proceed, and no 2027 dates or reopening information are posted as of August 20, 2026. The still-live application page and 2025-26 flyer describe a cancelled plan, not an available program.
