According to Peter Awn, Dean of the Columbia University School of General Studies, the College of Physicians and Surgeons will begin accepting applications in January 2011 for their next entering class. 

“We are delighted about this new partnership, which provides highly-qualified students greater access to the world-class medical education offered by the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons,” Awn said.

Linkage is a formal agreement between the Postbac Premed Program and a medical school, which enables highly-qualified Postbac Premed students with a strong interest in one of these schools to accelerate the application process. In addition to this new agreement, the Postbac Premed Program maintains linkage agreements with ten other medical schools.
