Pre-Matriculation Program

Held in Athens, Pre-Matriculation is a four-week accelerated introduction to the Pathways to Health and Wellness Curriculum for mission-aligned entering medical students. 

This program is by invitation only, and no separate application is required. Selections are made in mid-to-late March. Entering students may be invited to participate based on their academic needs or alignment with our college mission. The program typically enrolls a cohort of 24 students and begins in late May.  Housing, travel reimbursement, and a modest living stipend are provided.

Program Components

The program is designed to promote academic, career, and personal success by reinforcing strategies that support lifelong learning. The curriculum uses a case-based learning approach that allows program participants to explore basic science and social medicine concepts. The program includes:

  • Case-based learning in small groups
  • Anatomy (lecture and laboratory)
  • Introduction to osteopathic manipulative medicine
  • Clinical skills workshops
