I strongly recommend Concordia College’s post-baccalaureate premedical program. I found this program rigorous and relevant, as it prepared me with the biology, chemistry, and physics content I will need to succeed in medical school. Every professor I took classes from was excellent and eager to help me learn. The content I learned helped me prepare for my MCAT examination. All of the courses I took in this program contained a lab section, which I found increased my interest in the material and reinforced the concepts I was learning. The highlight of the program for me was both semesters of organic chemistry, which were challenging but filled with interesting and useful content. I appreciate the help and advice that Dr. Rutherford, the program director, has provided me about my future plans after I finished the program.
