I would search the websites of several medical schools that you are interested in, particularly schools that are affiliated with larger universities.

I know that Temple University, University of Connecticut, and PCOM have these programs because they are the programs I was researching.

So, look into some schools that are on your application list and see what they offer.

Best of luck.

First of all, I pray that you will be accepted into med school.

LECOM has a post bac program that you can check into. You'll find information about the program on LECOM's website www.lecom.edu

Good luck and Happy Holidays

Boston University and Georgetown also have Master's programs in Medical Sciences and Physiology, respectively.

I know that you are looking for something to occupy the year you might have if you don't get it -- but if you work on your Master's -- do it in something you enjoy. I am about halfway done with my Master's program and do not regret doing the typical one-year "pre-med" Master's program, though it may take me a few months longer to complete. However, if you enjoy physio or medical sciences, more power to you!

Best of luck!
