The Program

 

 

The Johns Hopkins Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program prepares recent college graduates and "career-changers" for admission to medical school. Designed to meet the needs of diverse and talented individuals, this program is right for you if you've compiled an excellent academic record in college, have never applied to medical school, are committed to serving others, and have the ultimate goal of entering the medical profession. Fulltime study is required for at least one academic year; most students finish the program in 9 to 13 months.

This highly selective program emphasizes personal attention and academic preparation for the best medical schools. You'll enroll in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences day classes taught by outstanding faculty who are leaders in their fields, and you'll complete the core premedical curriculum known for its rigor and quality. Students also have numerous opportunities to gain experience in areas of interest related to medicine through classes and tutorials at the Schools of Medicine and Public Health. A lecture series conducted by Hopkins medical faculty and seminars planned exclusively for post-bac students inspire excitement about careers in medicine.

Having a fulfilling post-bac experience is more than just academics. It's also being a part of the Johns Hopkins community of students and faculty. To create a collegial and nurturing learning environment we plan social get-togethers that include speakers, monthly dinners, a Journal Club to discuss contemporary issues in medicine, and a symposium for students to share what they have learned about medicine.
