The Pre-Matriculation Program (PMP) at 无码群交 of Medicine and Science (RFUMS) is a unique opportunity for highly motivated post-baccalaureate students from disadvantaged backgrounds. This program offers a non-degree curriculum track that provides students with exposure to medical school-level coursework, enhancing their competitiveness for admission to medical or health professions programs.
PMP students receive personalized support from faculty, staff, and alumni mentors, fostering academic growth and professional development. The small cohort setting creates a supportive environment where students can connect with peers and gain valuable experiences that might not otherwise be accessible.
无码群交 is dedicated to increasing diversity within its student body and contributing to a more equitable healthcare workforce. By providing opportunities for underserved and disadvantaged students, PMP aims to reduce health disparities and create a more inclusive healthcare system.
In keeping with its goal of increasing the diversity of medical school enrollments, PMP encourages applications from students who come from groups that are underrepresented in medicine. For instance, some applicants may come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds or from racial and ethnic groups that historically have been underrepresented in medicine, or may attend schools with largely socioeconomically disadvantaged or underrepresented student bodies. Other applicants may come from geographic areas whose residents historically have been underrepresented in medicine or lacked access to medical services.
Economically disadvantaged: A student who comes from a “low income family” with an annual income below the thresholds published in the Federal Register by the Secretary for use in all health professions programs.

Educationally disadvantaged: A student who comes from a community college or a less competitive four-year institution as defined by Barron’s Profiles of American Colleges.
Standardized test scores (ACT/SAT) at student’s school are markedly below other institutions, or student performance on standardized tests (ACT/SAT) is below national averages AND student has an overall grade point average below 3.0 or a science grade point average of 2.50 or higher.
A student who attended secondary school in a financially-designated poor district or has parents or other adults in the household who did not graduate from high school.
A student who lacked the opportunity to gain academic enrichment from other sources.
Socially disadvantaged: A student who comes from an environment that has inhibited (but not prevented) him or her from obtaining the knowledge, skills and abilities required to enroll in and successfully complete an undergraduate course of study that could lead to a career in the health sciences. This includes, but is not limited to: first generation college students, students limited by their community setting (rural, inner city or reservation), and students with a certified learning and/or physical disability.
Demonstrated commitment to improving the health of the underserved and disadvantaged populations: Students who are motivated by personal life experiences with underserved communities and/or experiences with disadvantaged health issues to pursue training in healthcare/medicine. Significant volunteer or other work for a clinic or agency serving the underserved or disadvantaged populations (local, national or international).
