Overall, I was happy with my graduate experiences at Drexel University. I chose this program to help me get in to medical school, which it did. It also served two other purposes: to test one's "readiness" and to give you an advantage once in medical school. Because students take nearly all of the real first-year medical school classes in this program, it is quite a "trial by fire." You will be challenged in ways far beyond any undergraduate program, but if you can succeed in these classes, you will... Read More have a huge head-start in medical school. That being said, some people in my cohort were not so successful, and I think for them this was a wake-up call that they were not ready to meet the rigors of medical school. For medical school applicants with subpar undergraduate GPAs, this program can be immensely helpful in giving you an academic boost. But be warned. Not everyone in this program will go on to an M.D. program. Some were accepted to D.O. programs or Caribbean schools, so adjust your expectations now. You have to be honest with yourself. Are you ready to devote 10+ hours a day to studying to be successful in this program (which is still easier than medical school)? If so, you can absolutely succeed with this program. The faculty and staff are wonderful and, if you are engaged and show interest, they will help you to reach your goals. I enjoyed this program because of the amazing faculty, the ability to take real medical school classes, and most importantly because it helped me to get accepted into two M.D. programs.

This program is only a few years old, so there are still some kinks to get out. Overall this was a great 2 year graduate program. It allowed you to have the opportunity to take graduate level science courses, while also exploring the different opportunities in health care via career seminar classes. Every week a different healthcare professional that ranged from Pharmacist to Podiatrist would come in and talk about their profession. It was an opportunitity to get a look into other health care professions... Read More besides the typical MD or DO route. Since this was a Master's program, 2 research projects must be completed at the end of each year and presented to fellow students and faculty. Overall it was a great program that I enjoyed. Having the opportunity to take classes like Pharmacology, Histology, and Anatomy really lets you see what medical school classes are like. However, this program is just starting out so the kinks are there. It was a struggle just to get my research topic approved because my director had a difficulty in responding to emails. I hope her communication skills have gotten better. But thats the only con that I can really think of. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who is willing to keep an open mind or is not really sure of what area of healthcare they want to pursue. This program will definitely help you figure that out.
