The Medical/Dental Preparatory Program is designed for college sophomores, juniors, seniors or recent

graduates.

This six-week summer program consists of two tracks:

Track 1: The Medical/Dental Preparatory Program Track 1 is a MCAT/DAT Preparation

Program created for students who will be taking the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT)

or Dental Admission Test (DAT). The program focuses on MCAT or DAT test preparation

and information on the medical or dental school admissions process and professional

development. Students will be provided with all materials for MCAT or DAT preparation.

Tutors will also be available to students for both the MCAT and DAT preparation. They will

be available throughout the day for any assistance in preparing for the MCAT or DAT as well

as for programmatic instructions. The 2020 program for both the MCAT and DAT

preparation will be delivered virtually through an online platform.

Track 2: The Medical/Dental Preparatory Program Track 2 is the Basic Medical Science

Program (BMS) designated for all other students not on Track 1. This track consists of a BMS

course emphasizing essential principles of cell and molecular biology correlated to team-based

learning exercises and case studies. Clinical experiences through a seminar series and

professional development exercises are also presented. Students will be provided with all

materials for the BMS course. Tutors and will also be available to students for the BMS course.
