There are many components that our medical team at MedApplications™ recommends when considering a pre-medical program. For most students, the location, content of the program, areas of specialization and sense of community are critical when deciding on where to pursue their pre-medical studies. Often, speaking to former graduates of the pre-medical program is helpful in getting a true feel for the academic and social atmosphere. Here is a brief overview of some important factors to consider when selecting a pre-medical program:
1. Consider the location of the Pre-Medical program
2. Consider the available courses and course modules
3. Medical Placement and Medical Research Opportunities
4. Success of graduates gaining acceptance to medical school
5. Core Content required for the Medical College Admissions Test
6. Available opportunities to get involved in the student community
7. Emphasis on local and global community initiatives
