Pre-health and Pre-Med are related but distinct paths in the journey towards a career in medicine or healthcare. While they share some common elements, they have different focuses and goals. Pre-health is a broader term that encompasses all undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing a career in healthcare, which includes fields beyond medicine such as dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, veterinary medicine, and more.
Students who successfully pass all required courses will be considered for promotion to Trinity School of Medicine’s Doctor of Medicine degree program.
Enrollment in Trinity School of Medicine’s Pre-Med to Med Pathway will prepare you for becoming a successful physician.
