New York Medical College - Accelerated Master's Program - Overview

Accelerated Track Program Description

The Graduate School of Basic Medical Sciences offers an accelerated track in its interdisciplinary basic medical sciences program. Students in this track take selected pre-clinical medical school courses and are able to complete the requirements for a Master of Science degree in Basic Medical Sciences within one year.

Students entering the accelerated program intend to apply to medical school. Admission into the program is highly competitive, with openings for a maximum of only 25 students per year. The relatively small number of students will allow the faculty to work closely with the students and provide them with guidance concerning their applications to medical school. Students entering the program should understand that this is a graduate program and there is no guarantee of acceptance into the medical school of New York Medical College or into any other medical school. Nonetheless, students who do well in the program will be offered interviews at New York Medical College if the other elements of their applications are acceptable.
