Would any of these certificates work?

My cumulative GPA isn't that great and neither is my science (science is better than cumulative)
My cGPA is below a 3.0 and science is just over a 3.0.

I am trying to find a way to take science courses through an official graduate degree/certificate as I need the financial aid and cannot currently do a DIY.
Mostly just by looking at admissions requirements for SMPs, my GPA is too low for admission to those programs.

I have found a few graduate certificates:

Graduate Certificate in Medical Physiology:
6000 level courses:
Fundamentals of Medical Physiology (1 credit)
Medical Renal Physiology (2 credits)
Medical Respiratory Physiology (3 credits)
Medical Endocrine Physiology (3 credits)
Medical Cardiovascular and Muscle Physiology (3 credits)
Medical Gastrointestinal Physiology (2 credits)

Graduate Certificate in Medical Physiology with a specialization in Cardiovascular/Renal Physiology:
6000 level courses:
Principles of Medical Physiology (6 credits)
Physiology of Circulation of Blood (2 credits)
Advanced Renal Physiology and Pathophysiology (2 credits)
Advances in Hypertension Research (2 credits)

Graduate Certificate Medical Human Anatomy
5000 level courses:
Medical Human Anatomy (4 credits)
Medical Histology (4 credits)
Medical Human Embryology (3 credits)
And then either:
Medical Anatomy Lab (3 credits)
or
Medical Anatomy by Diagnostic Imaging (3 credits)

Graduate Certificate in Medical Anatomy and Physiology
5000 and 6000 level courses:
Medical Human Anatomy (3 credits)
Medical Human Anatomy Lab (3 credits)
Medical Histology (4 credits)
Fundamentals of Medical Physiology (1 credit)
and then choose at least 4 credits from the following:
Medical Renal Physiology (2 credits)
Medical Cardiovascular and Muscle Physiology (3 credits)
Medical Pulmonary Physiology (3 credits)
Medical Endocrinology and Reproduction (3 credits)
Medical Gastrointestinal Physiology (2 credits)

Would any of these work? Would one work better than the other?
I would have the option of transferring courses from the Medical Physiology program into the graduate in physiology and pharmacology program that is available if it would be better to complete a graduate degree.

Any insight is appreciated.

These classes may help for DO schools.
They won't hold a lot of water at MD, though.
