As a surgeon would be FACS, Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, HAMES Jr. offers a unique membership to eligible students who can prove their candidacy. We call it FHAMES. Fellow of the High School Association of Medical Engineers & Scientists, in respect to the colloquial terms used in hospitals. Freshmen who are inducted into the program are referred to as “Interns”, Sophomores and Juniors are called “Residents”, and Seniors are deemed “Attendings"
Each member is sworn in with the Declaration of Geneva, sorted into a house of specialty, and is given a card and certificate verifying their membership. The offered houses of specialties currently are Neurology, Cardiology, and Emergency Medicine. All fellows are trained in Healthcare Provider’s Basic Life Support, upon many other certifications in their preferable speciality.

Even perform diagnostic exams like physicals, ophthalmologic, and neuro exams.
