Staff and faculty assist students in researching volunteer opportunities, consult with them on their letters of recommendation, and provide advising for medical school applications and career preparation. Valuable time is spent sharing information about the medical school application process and procedures. Students are encouraged to meet with the program director and faculty advisor throughout the year to discuss their journey through the Post-Bac Program and application to healthcare professional school.
We also sponsor talks by medical professionals and recent graduates of the Post-Bac Program who can advise students preparing for interviews and the application process. Upon completion of the program, students benefit tremendously from a detailed committee letter of recommendation written by our faculty advisor. If students do not link with a medical school, our staff continues to advise and support them with the application process during the glide year.
Each year the post-bac program coordinates a series of presentations and workshops for students. This past year’s presentations included:
In addition to these Post-Bac Program seminars, students have access to meetings and workshops hosted by all Claremont Schools, which have included:
“The Scripps Post-Bac Program was attractive to me because of its condensed nature and the support provided by the program director, DeEttra Mulay. I was an older applicant coming into the program, and it was important that I move on to the next step sooner rather than later. It was very encouraging to have an advocate like DeEttra in my corner.”
