During the glide year, some Postbac Premed students choose to pursue an additional degree or certificate program prior to enrolling in medical school. Many such programs exist, and below are a few that have been of particular interest to Postbac Premed students.
Columbia University Master of Bioethics Program:
The Combined Postbac Premed–M.S. in Bioethics Program, offered in partnership with the Columbia University School of Professional Studies, allows highly qualified students to enrich and diversify their premedical education before enrolling in medical school. Bioethics is an expanding discipline that brings together studies in law, philosophy, religion, economics, science, and history. It seeks to address the challenges created by rapid advances in biotechnology and biomedicine, from end-of-life care to DNA sequencing to new reproductive technologies. For future healthcare providers, this program provides a crucial and relevant foundation for the practice of medicine.
