Evening Post-baccalaureate Pre-medical
Applications for the Fall 2025/26 academic year are now open.
The Division of Pre-medical and Pre-health Programs offers the unique Evening Post-baccalaureate Pre-medical (PMED) program for individuals with a non-science baccalaureate degree who wish to pursue a career in the health professions. Changing careers can be a challenging decision for individuals to make. This program will help candidates transition into a new career by allowing them to maintain their current position while completing the prerequisite coursework for application to medical, dental, physician's assistant, veterinary, or other health professional schools. The part-time PMED curriculum consists of didactic and laboratory courses. It is delivered on-campus in the evening or in a hybrid format with asynchronous didactic and on-campus laboratory courses. The program is housed in the new state-of-the-art Health Sciences Building on Drexel University's main campus in the heart of University City in Philadelphia. This certificate program is not eligible for federal financial aid.

Meet Students and Alumni
The PMED program was a perfect fit because it allowed me to continue working full time as a research coordinator, learning about careers in health care and completing individual research projects, and completing my coursework at the same time. Read more.
"I want to become a doctor because I think everyone should have the right to quality care and health. The evening PMED program was a good fit for me because it enabled me to go back to school while still working to support myself." Read more.
"I am very interested in social justice and advocating for underserved communities. This has always been my main interest, and I believe medicine allows you in interface with people at times when they are the most vulnerable and most in need of support. I love working with people and think I have the skills to make difference in the lives of my patients." Read more.
Academic Advising
Gaining admission into a medical or other health professional school is very competitive. A student in the program must excel in the science courses. Free tutoring services are available on campus. In addition, applying to medical school is a very tedious and a time-consuming task. The director and dedicated administrator of the Evening Post-baccalaureate Pre-medical program are available to students within the program to assist with this endeavor.
