Fulfill your dream of entering the medical professionOur VisionWe are devoted to helping you pursue a career in medicine with our Post Baccalaureate Premedical Program. Successful applicants to this unique, challenging and highly selective program become part of a close-knit community of supportive faculty and students. The small class size enables us to personally advise and support students as they develop their key professional and academic strengths. Students who successfully complete the program requirements matriculate directly to Temple University School of Medicine (TUSM).

TUSM has a history of excellence and diversity where much is accomplished in its hospital, classrooms, and teaching and research facilities, but most of all it is a place where people care about each other faculty and students alike.

Post Baccalaureate Premedical Program Benefits:

Outstanding Faculty Small Class Size Personalized Advising Conditional Acceptance to TUSM

The Program The Post Baccalaureate Premedical Program offers two tracks: Basic Core in Medical Science (BCMS) Advanced Core in Medical Science (ACMS)

The BCMS Program gives college graduates the opportunity to take the required science courses for admission to medical school by enrolling in full-time study in day classes and completing the core premedical curriculum while preparing for the MCAT2015.

The ACMS Program provides a full-time graduate curriculum for college graduates. Courses are taught by our medical school faculty. Students engage in MCAT2015 preparation as part of the program.

The Result Upon completion of the program, students who achieve a SGPA of 3.5 and receive a total MCAT score of 30, with no one subscore less than 8, will matriculate immediately into TUSM, without a gap year. For MCAT2015 a total score at the 70 percentile with no individual section less than the 50 percentile is required.

The Core Curriculum In the BCMS Program, students attend lectures and labs with full-time undergraduates. Post Baccalaureate students will be in the same lab and conference sections. In the ACMS Program, students are enrolled in graduate level courses at TUSM. Both programs include MCAT2015 Prep, seminars and tutorials with medical school faculty and students, as well as opportunities for clinical encounters, clinical research and mentored shadowing experiences.
