The MED program is a demanding academic preparatory program for disadvantaged students with an intensive curriculum that mimics the first year of medical and dental school. The program enhances your study skills, testing skills and strengthens your sciences to prepare you adequately to begin medical or dental school. Participants take courses in Biochemistry, Gross Anatomy, Histology, Microbiology, MCAT/DAT Prep and Dental Theory (if applicable). Only students interested in dentistry take the Dental Theory component. Your performance in MED is a good indicator of your potential for success in these fields of study.
