Evening Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Medical

The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and Professional Studies at Drexel University’s College of Medicine offers a part-time evening Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Medical certificate (PMED). This program gives individuals who hold a non-science baccalaureate degree the opportunity to continue working while they take courses in the evening to prepare themselves for medical, veterinary, dental, podiatric, chiropractic, or other allied health professional schools. This program also affords the individual who took science courses many years ago the opportunity to revisit the sciences. The structured program is the equivalent of five semesters completed in succession, delivered either face-to-face or in a hybrid format with asynchronous lectures and on-campus labs.

A linkage opportunity has been established for successful students upon completion of the PMED program. In addition, affiliation agreements include Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine, Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, and the Robert Wood Johnson School of Medicine.

The program consists of five semesters parsed out over two years. The curriculum offers the prerequisite science courses required by most health professional schools. During the first year, general chemistry and general physics with laboratories are offered along with an elective math course. During the second year, students take organic chemistry and general biology in the summer and fall semesters. In the final spring semester, a formal MCAT review course is offered to students, expense-free. In addition, two elective courses are offered including molecular biology and biochemistry and sociology and psychology.
