The Pre-Entry Program is an intensive four-week program offered to a subset of students prior to matriculating to the first year of medical school. The program includes course content in anatomy, biochemistry, histology, immunology, microbiology, and physiology/neuroscience taught by McGovern Medical School faculty members. Students are also introduced to study skills. The noncredit program is designed to prepare students for the academic rigors of the medical school curriculum. Invitations are sent to students who might benefit from the program. Students may also request consideration for participation in this program. Second year students serve as tutors for the program.
