Post-Bac Premed Transitional Glide Year
Because of the way the application and admission cycle for medical schools works, students who participate in post-baccalaureate premedical programs at any school have a transitional year, often called the glide year, between graduation from the program and the time when they actually begin medical school.
Medical Employment Opportunities
The glide year can be very useful to graduates of the post-bac program. There are many valuable medical employment opportunities available during the glide year that can enhance the things you’ve just learned in class, preparing you even better for your new career and further broadening your perspective on the medical profession. And because there are always post-bac graduates vacating their positions to go on to medical school, your options will be plentiful when you graduate.

“If you’re going to do premed, I can’t imagine a more ideal scenario than Goucher. You have a small class that’s closely connected and seeks fun together, a supportive staff, and an attentive teaching faculty. It amounts to a good year of learning, friendships and discovery.”
