Overview

The Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program at Illinois Dominican University is designed as an academic bridge for students who have earned a bachelor’s degree and intend to pursue graduate study in the medical sciences.

The Medical Studies program offers all prerequisite coursework as well as distinctive upper-level experiences to assist students toward entering medical school, dental school, physician assistant programs and other master’s- and doctoral-level programs in the medical sciences. Students work with expert faculty advisors to develop a course of study tailored to their professional and personal goals. In small classes, students work side-by-side with medical professionals with decades of experience as practitioners in a range of health care disciplines. This is the only program in the country that leads to the BMS degree.

More ways to learn, on campus and beyond

Practical experience is built into the curriculum. Illinois Dominican University's students complete research projects with academic or clinical departments and present their findings at local symposia. They enjoy myriad service opportunities not only in the Chicago area but also around the country, through our affiliation with the national MEDLIFE program. Our Clinical Preceptorship affords students the chance to shadow health care professionals in busy urban settings.

Students have opportunities for leadership and service through our campus chapters of the American Medical Student Association (AMSA) and the Minority Association of Premedical Students (MAPS).
