Carroll Medical Academy (CMA) is an advanced high school academic program for students who are interested in pursuing careers within the medical field. It truly is a unique program that was established in 2004. CMA is designed for students in grades 9-12 who have met specific program criteria via a district selection process. It offers a math and science intensive curriculum that encourages students to maximize the number of Advanced Placement (AP) science and math courses during their high school years. The rigor of the courses offered in the CMA program enables students to experience courses which better prepare them for their post high school experiences. In addition to the challenging curriculum, medical professionals are invited as guest lecturers and students interact with the professionals individually during the annual career day. Rising junior and senior students apply for unique 25 hour summer medical internship opportunities. Senior CMA students enroll in a Honors Biotechnology class where they are given the opportunity to participate in a spring internship. This internship allows students to shadow mentors in a variety of medical practices within Southlake and the DFW metroplex. The CMA sponsor/director Mrs. Sherry Martin, has been with the program since 2005. The CMA Boosters play an active role in supporting the internship program, career day, and scholarship awards program. Carroll Medical Academy will continue to enrich and encourage students as they work toward their goals in the medical field of science.
