The Apprentice Doctor® materialized in 2002 when Dr. Anton Scheepers felt a desire to offer aspiring doctors and related medical professionals a glimpse into the field of medicine. The idea was to offer the student a hands-on experience and thus the concept of a ‘course and kit’ combination.
The first kit was the “The Apprentice Doctor® How to Examine Patients Foundation Course and Kit”. Since then, TAD® has upgraded the Course and the Kit several times and presently the For Future Doctors Course is an accredited Premedical course in the USA.
