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 offers an excellent blend of collaborative research opportunities with a chosen partner, complemented by cohort-wide lectures, all guided by an experienced mentor. This early introduction to the fundamentals of biomedical research has provided me with a strong foundation that I can continue to build upon in high school and college. I highly recommend this program to anyone with a deep interest in biomedical sciences and a desire to pursue a future in the field.

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!

My experience at the Elio Academy was really great. Through this course, I was able to acquire numerous knowledges about neuroscience. Also, the instructors helped me a lot during the project that I was able to do my project really well. I think I will never forget this experience that I recommend this elio bio medical summer camp to every students who are really interested in biology or those subjects.

My experience at the Elio Academy Summer program was absolutely wonderful! The people, instructors, and slideshows and lectures were amazing. You also learn about and get introduced to various types of research help websites and much more. All together, my experience at Elio Academy was very enjoyable and i hope to be a part of it in the future again.

I had an incredible opportunity to participate in the Genetics, Genomics and Cancer Biology program at Elio Academy. Despite facing challenges with time zones in India and going to school simultaneously, the mentors were exceptionally supportive and accommodating. One of the many things I appreciated about this program is its online platform. The platform lets you view past recordings, lesson slide decks, past student projects and many bio-resources. I liked the lecture handouts as they helped me consolidate my previous learnings and review back on missed-out topics. Technical help was always available from Elio through email and the contact hotline. All in all, the Elio program was fantastic!

The instructors explained the topic subject in great detail and yet great simplicity, and did so for a wide variety of topics. My expectations were greatly exceeded, and the project that us students needed to work on was engaging, interesting, a learning experience, and the fact that we got to choose our topic for it was fantastic. Would absolutely recommend the program.

The program at Elio Academy has been such an amazing opportunity for me to learn real life knowledge and skills related to the biomed field. I really have enjoyed the teaching methods, featuring collaboration, discussions, and encouraging questions! Elio Academy has so many wonderful resources to offer to its students, and I’m so lucky to be able to use those resources and the knowledge I’ve gained to apply towards my final project and hopefully, many projects beyond! I highly recommended internships with Elio Academy as they stimulate a positive learning environment and provide valuable and current information that pushes students to think outside of the box!

Through this program I was able to learn about the different areas of the biomedical science field. Additionally, the projects are very fun as we get to pick our own disease and research about them in-dept. Overall, this program was very fun and I would highly recommend it to other students.

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.

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.

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.
