Want to get a head start on your studies?

Are you ready for medical school? Wright State’s Prematriculation Program is a four-week summer program for incoming medical students that can give you a head start!

This program offers you exposure to material seen early in the first year, including four weeks of human structure class, supplemental instruction sessions led by current medical students and extensive critical thinking and study skills training.

student in classThe program is designed for students who have educational backgrounds that put them at a disadvantage, have been out of school for a period of time, are members of under-represented minority groups, did not major in the sciences as undergraduates and/or are changing careers. The Prematriculation Program will give you additional time to get acquainted with the Dayton area, find a place to live and interact informally with some of your new classmates, faculty and staff.

All students are encouraged to apply for the program. A number of scholarships are available to offset living expenses during the four-week program. The program itself is free.
