A Second Opinion The Post BaccalaureatePost BAC pre med can refer to any of a number of programs of study taken up after a student has earned a bachelors degree. Some are masters level and assume some proficiency in prerequisite science courses. But the most popular and fastest growing programs are like Columbias, which delivers a rigorous lineup of prerequisite undergraduate courses with wraparound support, including MCAT preparation, advising and health care volunteer work. They hope to help would be doctors and dentists and veterinarians put forward the best package of grades and experience when applying to medical schools. At Columbia, enrollment grew to 6. Washington University in St. Louis introduced its post bac in 2. Goucher College received 4. The programs can be expensive usually the same rate as the undergraduate per credit tuition. For Columbias two year program, that means 5. At the University of Connecticut, tuition for a full time, two year post bac program will total 2. Students can take courses on their own, of course. If they do, Dr. Gerald Soslau, vice dean of the Drexel University College of Medicine,recommends that students take two science courses per semester, at a four year college, to show medical schools they can handle the academic load. What a student misses by going alone, however, is the support provided by an academic adviser who will act as sounding board, guide and writer of the all important letter of recommendation to medical school committees. Some programs have agreements with medical schools that offer qualified post bac students early admission. Columbia created the first post bac program, in 1. School of General Studies, intended for a postwar generation that was re creating itself professionally. Forty years ago, Southern Illinois University and Wayne State University in Detroit were pioneers in the professions efforts to recruit and train minority students who show promise in undergraduate pre med curriculums but do not have the G. P. A. or MCAT scores to get them into medical school. Of the programs listed on the A. A. M. C. site, about 4. But in the past decade, it has been the older student looking for a second career in medicine that has driven the growth in the number and profile of the pre med post baccalaureates about 8. The programs are not interchangeable programs intended to enhance grades assume a second pass at the material, and undergraduate and post bac grades in those subjectsare usually melded to present to medical schools. Students with none of the undergraduate courses that medical schools require should expect to take a minimum of two semesters each of chemistry, organic chemistry, biology and physics. Post bacs are typically full time and run 1. Drexels, offer evening classes Northeastern University has an online option. Among the post bac A. A. M. C. categories, career changers are the most academically successful, with matriculants earning an average MCAT score of 3. By contrast, the mean MCAT score for all pre med matriculants is 3. The laggard economy what else is at least in part responsible for the post bac boom. It is no coincidence, for example, that Columbias post bac applications and ranks grew with former financiers and lawyers when the banking industry started its downward spiral. Or that many enterprising schools created programs some better than others, experts warn to tap into demand from the downsized looking for career fulfillment. Or that applications to medical school hit a record last year almost 4. As Betsy Merideth, director of Goucher Colleges 2. I know unemployed lawyers, she says, but theres no such thing as an unemployed doctor. But those focused solely on finances are not necessarily the candidates who will make it into the selective post bac programs that medical schools like to see on applications. Neither are they likely to get rich in practice given the current state of health care. As Ms. Grassini notes, the time and money needed for a post bac is worth it only if you are getting into medicine for altruistic reasons. Health care as a career choice can be good if you want to help people, she says. If you are looking for notoriety or the big bucks, thats a tougher road and maybe you should have been a doctor at a different time. Ms. Grassinis motivation the inciting incident that led her to medicine is rooted in her 2. He had been treated at an alcohol rehabilitation center and given a drug that landed him in a hospital emergency room with a near fatal allergic reaction. It was supposed to be removed from his prescription list, but once back at the center, it was mistakenly given to him again. That dose killed him. The negligence had outraged her. The theater world had begun to feel fake, she says. I would leave auditions and ask myself, What am I doing especially when compared to the real life medical drama she had lived. She started to reconsider her choice of acting. To test the waters, she volunteered at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. That experience made up her mind. The transition has not been easy. Adapting to a rigorous and unrelenting courseload of physics, math and science was at first a stretch compared to writing the papers and scripts that had dominated her time as an undergraduate. It was not how my brain was wired, she says. Still, she had a love of science, and figured out how to process and memorize a lot of information quickly. After isolating herself the first year to focus on studies, she has since loosened up. She has even found art in chemistry class, where she has employed her drawing skills. Some of the compounds are really beautiful, she says. The post bac ranks are filled with stories like Ms. Grassinis. Medical schools like what older students can bring to a class and to the profession. In general, they are more self aware, more focused, more empathetic because of the rich experiences they had before medical school, says Dr. Rafael Rivera, director of admissions at N. Y. U. School of Medicine. Their personal stories and motivations, he adds, weigh heavily on an admissions committees considerations. We spend a lot of time with these applicants trying to clarify Why medical school, and why now he says. But an interesting life story and noble intentions alone are no guarantee of admission. Medical training is a long journey often 1. Unlike the medical student straight out of college, older students often must work out sacrifices in established personal lives and finances once they embark on medical education. And, to be blunt, they have fewer years to practice than their traditional counterparts. There are no surveys on admit rates for students coming from post bac programs, but consider At N. Y. U., of 6. 98 post bacs who applied for the class entering in 2. That compares with a 5. This year applications to N. Y. U. medical school from post bacs are up 2. The post bac is a big risk to take, says Marissa Lipton, who at 2. University of Connecticut, where she also completed her post bac. As a psychology major at Tufts, she thought about medicine but did not want to be hemmed in by the prerequisites, which would have taken up about a quarter of her schedule. Facing graduation, Ms. Lipton thought carefully about how best to maximize her odds of getting into med school before starting down that path.
