DESCRIPTION
Welcome to the Medicine and Disease Olympiad Camp, designed exclusively for high school students aspiring to excel in medical sciences. This comprehensive camp prepares you for national and international competitions with an in-depth understanding of medicine, human anatomy, diseases, and healthcare. Join us for an immersive learning experience that blends rigorous academic training with practical, hands-on sessions.
The Introductory Medicine & Disease Training Course focuses on introducing medicine to any interested high school students with the aim of inspiring the young learners to pursue a medical career. The course is designed for any student from around the world. Over the course of 12 weeks, students will cover the most important human anatomy and physiology topics which will build a solid foundation of knowledge for their future.
This course is an excellent springboard for USA Medicine and Disease Olympiad (USMDO) and International Medicine and Disease Olympiad (IMDO).
Course textbooks:
- Martini Human Physiology
- BRS Physiology (Board Review Series)
- Anatomy and Physiology by OpenStax
- Vander’s Human physiology
- Campbell Biology (11th Edition) by Lisa A. Urry, Michael L. Cain and Steven A. Wasserman
- Essential Cell Biology (Alberts et al.)
- Amerman Human Anatomy & Physiology
Every week, students will cover 5-7 chapters from this book. Each class is accompanied by homework.

Your instructor
As an edupreneur deeply rooted in the world of biology and scientific education, my journey through the realms of academia and competitive science uniquely equips me to lead the Medicine & Diseases Olympiad Training Camp. My competitive streak in biology was honed through personal triumphs at the International Biology Olympiads in Singapore (2012) and Switzerland (2013), coupled with a consecutive three-year gold medal streak at the Lithuanian National Biology Olympiad. These experiences not only fueled my passion for the subject but also ingrained in me the strategies and core knowledge essential for excelling in academic competitions.
My academic achievements include a BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Sciences (Anatomy) from the University of Aberdeen and an MSc in Biological Sciences from Clemson University. The culmination of these pursuits was marked by authoring ‘How to Prepare for the Biology Olympiad and Science Competitions’. It is this tapestry of personal success, rigorous education, and an unwavering dedication to science that I bring to each teaching session, aiming to ignite a similar passion in my students while equipping them with the expertise to achieve their highest potential in the competitive world of biology.
