TL;DR
Below are 23 medical programs in California, each with its cost or stipend, dates, deadline, and the county or school rules that determine who can apply. Most applications open between October and January and close by March, so find your region and save those dates today. A summer spot in a hospital or lab shows you what medicine looks like from the inside. Horizon lets you build something of your own on top of that. You’ll work one-on-one with a professor or PhD mentor on a question you choose, and finish with a research paper you can submit to journals or competitions. It’s fully online; cohorts start three times a year.
What these programs actually are
A “medical program” can mean many things. Some put you in a research lab for eight weeks, running experiments or crunching patient data. Some are one-week camps where you practice suturing and take a pulse. A few are paid summer jobs inside a hospital system.
California has a lot of them, thanks to Stanford, UCSF, UCLA, UC Irvine, City of Hope, Cedars-Sinai, and a long list of children’s hospitals. That’s the good news. The catch? Most are built for the neighborhoods around them.
So the thing that decides whether a program fits you usually isn’t your GPA. It’s your county, your age on the first day, and whether you can get there every morning.

How to get your application in on time
- Ask for recommendation letters in November. NeuroCamp wants a signed letter on school letterhead, Loma Linda wants three letters, and UC Davis wants one from a science teacher.
- Check your age on the program’s first day. SIMR, PIPS, CURE, SPARK and City of Hope all want you to be 16 by the start date.
- Sort out your paperwork early. Kaiser LAUNCH and LA-HIP need legal work authorization. Eve and Gene Black’s hospital sites need your Social Security number and six to eight weeks for clearance.
- Plan the commute before you apply. A spot in Oakland or Torrance doesn’t help if you can’t get there five days a week.
- Apply to more than one. City of Hope took 82 of about 2,100 applicants last year, and SPARK takes 10 students. Spread your bets.

Medical programs in the Bay Area and Northern California
This is the busiest region on the list, and the most local. SIMR, UCSF SSRP and UCSF CURE are open to students from any county. PIPS, SMYSP, Brain Camp, Kaiser LAUNCH and Touro are not. And UC Davis Young Scholars is the only program in the state that puts you in a dorm.
1. Stanford Institutes of Medicine Summer Research Program (SIMR)
Location: Stanford University, in person
Cost: Free, with a $50 application fee (waived if your family earns under $80,000)
Dates: June 8 to July 30, 2026 (8 weeks); 2027 is tentatively June 7 to July 29
Application deadline: February 21 for 2026; late February for 2027

SIMR is Stanford’s best-known summer research program for high schoolers. About 50 students each work on a medical research project in a Stanford lab, go to lectures, and finish with a poster session. There’s no housing, so you’ll need to live with family, and limited need-based stipends are available.
Stanford says Bay Area students are heavily favored, so apply knowing that. Our guide to applying to SIMR walks through the essays and timeline. Also worth a look: Stanford’s free STaRS internship in reconstructive surgery, which takes about 20 students aged 16 and up from anywhere in the US.
Who is it right for? You’re a Bay Area junior or senior who wants the most recognized free research program in the state.
2. Pediatrics Internship Program at Stanford (PIPS)
Location: Stanford University, in person, about 30 hours a week

Application deadline: March 23 for 2026; the application usually opens in mid-December
Eligibility: Juniors from Northern California who are low-income and first-generation college-bound
SMYSP packs a lot into five weeks. You’ll do a hospital internship and a health disparities research project, take public health and anatomy classes, and get mentors who stick around after it ends. Only 24 students got in for 2026. Housing and transportation aren’t provided, so you’ll live with family.
Who is it right for? You’re a first-gen, low-income junior who wants to see every side of medicine, not just one lab.
4. UCSF Summer Student Research Program
Location: Mostly Oakland (UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital and the MLK Research Building), some San Francisco sites
Cost: Free, with a $3,000 stipend
Dates: June 15 to July 31, 2026 (7 weeks)
Application deadline: February; the 2027 application should open in December 2026
Eligibility: Grades 10 to 12, 16 or older by June 1, from a disadvantaged background, US citizen or permanent resident
You’ll team up with a mentor on a clinical or basic science project, join weekly seminars and journal clubs, and present a poster and a talk at the end. “Disadvantaged” includes low-income students, first-gen students and students with disabilities. You’ll also need a year each of math and biology. Sophomores can apply here, which is rare for a paid lab program.
Who is it right for? You’re a Bay Area student from a disadvantaged background who can get to Oakland every day.
5. UCSF CURE Research Internship
Location: UCSF campuses in San Francisco and Oakland, in person, 40 hours a week

Application deadline: January 8, 2027 (opens November 16, 2026)
Eligibility: Ages 16 to 19 by June 1, 2027, living in Northern California, with legal work authorization
This one’s different from everything else on the page. It’s a paid job in healthcare, not a clinical program. Most interns work in office teams like finance, IT, HR and operations, with little patient contact, plus weekly workshops. But you’ll see how a giant health system actually runs, and $25 an hour for seven weeks is serious money. Children of Kaiser employees can’t apply.
Who is it right for? You’re a Northern California student who wants a real paycheck from a healthcare employer.
8. Touro University California Summer Healthcare Program
Location: Vallejo and Stockton campuses, in person
Cost: No fee listed; $600 stipend and 3 college credits when you finish
Dates: June 15 to July 24, 2026 (6 weeks)

Application deadline: March 1 for 2026 (opens January 1)
Eligibility: Rising juniors and seniors, 16 by the first day and under 18 through the last, US permanent residents living and studying in the US
About 40 students each work one-on-one with a UC Davis faculty researcher, write a journal-quality paper, and present at a symposium. Only about 10 to 15 percent get in, and you’ll need two teacher references, one from science. It isn’t medicine-only, so ask for a biological sciences lab if medicine is your goal.
Who is it right for? You want serious mentored research and need a program that houses you, wherever you live.
Medical programs in Los Angeles County
LA County students are lucky: five of the seven programs here are for locals only. City of Hope and UCLA BrainSPORT take students from anywhere, as long as you can get to Duarte or Westwood. At a Pasadena Unified school? Ask about Caltech’s Summer Research Connection, a six-week lab program just for PUSD students. Our older Los Angeles summer medical programs page has more ideas.

Online medical programs you can do from anywhere in California
Online is the only way around all those county rules. You won’t hold a pipette. But you’ll learn how medical research is designed, analyzed, and written up, which is the part that turns into something you can show people. For more, see our online medical research opportunities and online research mentorship programs.
22. UCI School of Medicine Summer Online Research Program
Location: Online, self-paced
Cost: $2,350 per session (2026); scholarships for students from underserved Southern California schools

Application deadline: Rolling, usually closing by late January or early February
Eligibility: Ages 15 to 18, 3.3 unweighted GPA
You’ll learn the ethics of research on people, practice judging published studies, write a research report and submit an abstract to a national meeting. Three weeks is short, but a submitted abstract is more than most summer programs give you.
Who is it right for? You want to learn how medical research works, on your own schedule.
23. Horizon Academic Research Program
Location: Online
Cost: $6,950 per course, with need-based aid for families earning under $75,000

Eligibility: High school students with a 3.67 unweighted GPA
Horizon pairs you one-on-one with a professor or PhD mentor to research a question you choose, and you’ll finish with a paper of about 5,000 words. There’s no “medicine track,” and we’d rather tell you that than pretend. Students into medicine usually pick courses like Gene Editing and CRISPR, Neuroscience, Neurodegenerative Diseases, Computational Neuroscience or Environmental Health and Engineering.
Seminars run 10 to 12 weeks with 20 instructor sessions, in groups that average four students. Labs run 12 to 16 weeks with 15 instructor sessions. Both add four sessions with a writing coach and four with a publication specialist who helps you find places to submit. Publication is an opportunity, not a promise, and Horizon accepted 26 percent of 6,539 applications.
Who is it right for? You want to lead your own medical research, no matter where you live.
FAQ
For most of these, yes in practice. Twelve of the 21 in-person programs only take local students. SIMR, City of Hope, and UCSF CURE have no residency rule, but none of them house you. UC Davis Young Scholars is the one in-person program here with housing. Stanford’s STaRS internship also takes students from anywhere in the US.
Yes. UCI’s Summer Online Research Program and Horizon are fully online, and Eve and Gene Black has an online track for LA-area students. Stanford’s CNI-X neuroscience program also has an online option, which we cover on our medical camps page.
UCLA NeuroCamp takes grades 9 to 12, and CHOC Mi4 takes freshmen and up. UCSF SSRP takes sophomores who are 16 by June 1, and Rady takes you once you’ve finished 9th grade. Younger than that? Try our research programs for complete beginners.
You can, and it’s worth doing alongside a program. Many hospitals run teen volunteer programs, but age rules and hours vary, so check the volunteer page of the hospital nearest you. Volunteering gets you around patients. It usually won’t teach you research, though.
Check the deadline table above. The UCI cancer research fellowship opens in October, City of Hope on November 1 and Kaiser LAUNCH on November 16. Don’t want to wait for next summer? Horizon starts cohorts three times a year, and you can apply here.
It’s tough. Most of the lab programs are full-time for seven to ten weeks, and the UCI fellowship bans other summer programs outright. A one-week camp like MedAcademy or a part-time role like BrainSPORT is much easier to pair with something else.
A lot of medical research is data work: analyzing public health datasets, reviewing clinical studies or modeling how a disease spreads. With a mentor, you can design your own study, run the analysis and write it up, which is exactly what Horizon is built for. Our guides on finding a research lab and getting research opportunities in high school cover other routes.
Keep it going. You can publish your research in a high school research journal or enter research competitions. Here’s more on what you can do with a high school research paper.
