Post Baccalaureate Premedical Programs

For those considering an application to post baccalaureate premedical programs, I'd recommend the AAMC searchable database. The search options are comprehensive, including degree type and special program focus.

With regard to program focus, it's important to consider the courses you've completed before applying to a post baccalaureate program because some are intended to offer science curriculum to those who have not had it, while others act as academic-record enhancers. Along those lines, remember that not all courses in a program may be classified as BCPM (biology, chemistry, physics and math) by AMCAS so ensure you review a post bacc program's classes and their classification before applying.

Most post baccalaureate programs require an updated resume and essay. I've had experience editing written materials for post bacc applicants and am happy to help more candidates: InsiderMedicalAdmissions.com .
