There's a program here at Tulane in the Pharmacology Dept that will give you a masters...you take a bunch of med school classes and grad classes...its specifically designed to help people get in to med school and I've seen it work. It's only a few years old, but unlike a postboc, you actually get adegree for your money. There's also a program called the Anatomy program that is like a postboc but you literally take all the first year med school classes accept that humanism/fuzzy one.....you totally take anatomy with the med students...then you apply to med school at the same time! I know quite a few of these students who did it, got in right after or a year out...and are now residents here at tulane or...the Uof Chicago! I actually got into the Anatomy Program but turned it down to start my PhD. But I still think its a great program:

The Anatomy Program is a bit older than other postboc programs and it doesn't require a limited application pool...again, you take all the first year med school classes with the real med students accept their humanism fuzzy class. If you want to prove you can cut it in med school, this is much better than retaking biochem.

Check them out!
