Evening Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Medical Certificate Program

32.0 semester credits

The Office of Professional Studies in the Health Sciences at Drexel University’s College of Medicine offer the Evening Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Medical (PMED) program for individuals who wish to pursue a career in medicine or other health program. This unique 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.

The program is the equivalent of five semesters and takes two years to complete.The curriculum includes science prerequisite courses for application to most medical and other health profession schools.

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. During the second year, students take organic chemistry and general biology, in sequence, in the summer and fall semesters. Outside of the program, the opportunity for students to take additional courses through Drexel University is available.
