Drexel Pathway to Medical School Faculty

The curriculum for the Drexel Pathway to Medical School program is taught by faculty from both our MD program and our Division of Pre-medical and Pre-health Programs. This allows students to experience medical school courses taught by the same faculty who teach our full-time medical students.

The faculty members who teach courses in the Drexel Pathway to Medical School program help students become acclimated to medical school. Because the program only accepts approximately 65 students per year, it is a competitive application process.

You can learn more about the faculty at the College of Medicine by finding them in our complete listing and viewing their individual profile pages, which list their specialties, education, research and more.
