“I chose the MSMS program because I am an inspiring physician, and this program focuses on the rigor of what it would be like for the first year of medical school. As a first-generation student, I wanted to be more competitive when applying to medical school, and this program allowed me to be more competitive academically.”

"The most memorable part of this program is the connections between the faculty and students. I met with faculty during office hours and learned more about their experience in healthcare, received help on the course material, and advice for the path I want and need to take to become a Physician Assistant.
 
I also enjoyed getting to know my cohort. Even though we were online, we could get to know each other through zoom meetings and study groups. It was nice to have people support you through this program, which is something that I cherish.”
Message from the Program Director

The first question I ask a student is what drives you? Given the field of study you have chosen, I already have a good idea of what you are passionate about, most likely helping others, finding the answers to difficult questions, learning new things, and always pushing to go further. The MSMS program we have developed in conjunction with Tiber Health will satisfy all your passions on your journey to become a healthcare provider. Upon graduation, you will be equipped with the knowledge and understanding to secure a position in the healthcare science programs including medical school, nursing, physician assistant, pharmaceutical sciences, chiropractic, and many more. The MSMS program is designed to be an accelerated academic program to quickly move you forward in your career.
