Welcome to the Master of Science in Medical Sciences program, a powerful health sciences program that parallels the first year of medical school in curriculum and intensity. If you’re passionate about becoming a physician or working in healthcare, PHSU St. Louis is the place for you.
Every year, about 30,000 students are rejected from medical schools in America, but many of those students haven’t been given the tools to help them reach their goals. Often, these same students are from backgrounds that are historically-underrepresented in medical school.
We see the potential in every student to reach their goals in healthcare and go on to serve their communities with culturally-competent care.
Our one-of-a-kind student analytics and dynamic classroom play a major role, allowing us to monitor student performance and progress in real-time. By collecting student responses, we generate insights into how students will perform on USMLE Board exams and help align their future career in healthcare with topical strengths.
At PHSU St. Louis, in just one short year, we can help you get where you want to go in healthcare. We look forward to seeing you in our classrooms.
