What is the percentage of students who enter professional school after completion of the certificate? How many attend PCOM?
Approximately 1/2 of the biomedical sciences students enter professional schools each year. A large percentage of that enrolls at PCOM in the DO program but the number varies from year to year. The Biomedical Science program does not have any connection to the PCOM DO program admissions process and seats are not saved in the DO program for biomed students. If a certificate or degree candidate applies for admission to our DO program, he/she is guaranteed an interview only if students have complete application files, are in good academic standing, and maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.0 with no F’s or W’s at the conclusion of the second term of the certificate year or in the second year.
