Medicine
The school of medicine and allied health within the Professional School Program (PSP) at Legacy Christian Academy is consistent with the school’s mission to equip leaders for college and beyond. Through this unique academic structure, students have exposure to education (i.e., rigorous and diverse coursework), exploration (i.e., symposiums and guided studies), and experience (i.e., research and internships) with a concentrated focus in their field of study.
In their pursuit of classroom experience, students may elect to explore specific concentrations within the School of Medicine or choose an interdisciplinary approach that exposes them to a more general course of study.

Capstone Experience
Fit Physical Therapy
Natasha Arevalo (`20) interned at Fit Physical Therapy in Frisco. An internship in physical therapy was not on her radar initially, but the experience proved to be life-changing. She described her internship as an answer to a prayer. In addition to gaining practical skills in physical therapy, she forged relationships with patients, which underscored the importance of empathy and bedside manner — lifelong soft skills that can benefit her in any stage of life.
“For as long as I can remember,” she says, “I’ve dreamed of becoming a doctor. Though I knew I wanted to work in the medical field, I was never quite sure of what specific career path I wanted to pursue. Out of all the options I considered, none of them seemed like the right fit for me. As a result of my internship experience at Fit, I’ve chosen to attend Texas A&M University and major in kinesiology.”
Capstone
Seniors within the PSP School of Medicine and Allied Health have the opportunity to participate in a Capstone Project through either an internship or a research project within their specific field of focus. These Capstones will be presented in a Senior Showcase before completion of their Senior year with an opportunity to reflect and celebrate all that they have learned throughout the process.
