Students are enrolled in graduate-level biomedical science courses designed and taught solely to postbaccalaureates at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine by medical school faculty. The LKSOM Postbaccalaureate program includes a formal MCAT preparation course for students who haven’t achieved the required MCAT score.
