Students who are interested in pursuing a career in the health professions may enter a post-baccalaureate program to complete their coursework after receiving their bachelor’s degree.  For some students, post-bac programs provide an opportunity to improve their undergraduate GPA by re-taking science courses.  For other students, who have decided to change their career path, post-bac programs offer a chance to complete the required pre-health courses.  The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) maintains a database of post-bac programs that can be accessed through their website.

Under Represented in Medicine/Economically or Educationally Disadvantaged Students

For students who identify as belonging to a group typically under represented in medicine or are from economically or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds, there are additional post-bac programs to consider.  These programs are listed below as well as on the AAMC’s website.
