Building the Talent Pipeline in Orthopaedic Surgery & Engineering

We’re very excited to announce an upcoming Perry Outreach Program on Saturday, April 11th at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. The Perry Outreach Program is a free, one-day, hands-on experience to encourage youth to pursue careers in medicine and engineering. Students will hear from  leaders in these fields and try it for themselves by performing mock orthopaedic surgeries and biomechanics experiments.

We are currently seeking applicants for our Rochester, MN program. Participants should be in high school (Grades 10 and up) with a passion for science, medicine and/or engineering. Although The Perry Initiative welcomes all students to apply to the program so long as they are committed to our mission. 

We would very much appreciate it if you could pass this information along to any high school principals, high school science teachers or high school students you may know.  Applicants should fill out our online application in advance of the March 3rd, 2026 application deadline.
