Year Round Dedicated Academic Support

Before you even begin your classes in earnest, you can take the optional math review course we offer prior to the official start of the program. Over the summer, we offer individual and group tutoring as part of the program. Tutoring continues in the fall in individual and group sessions led by the post-bac Teaching Assistant (TA), a graduate of the post-bac class prior to yours whose job is to help you and your fellow post-bac students master the lessons of your science classes, gain confidence in your new skills, and prepare for your tests and exams. Unique to Goucher, the full-time TA provides not only an excellent review of course materials, but also the perspective and support of someone who has just completed the program.

Supportive Professors & Medical Application Prep

Our small class sizes make it easy for you to develop close relationships with both your professors and your classmates. The post-bac program staff—the program director, assistant director, teaching assistant , and faculty—are always readily available to address your questions and concerns on an individual basis. We’ll counsel you throughout your medical-school search and application process, while you’re at Goucher and continuing through your glide year. 

MCAT Practice & Professional Connections

We also offer weekly MCAT review sessions help you prepare for the test, along with application-specific workshops on such topics as: writing your personal statement, preparing for AMCAS application, and creating your medical school list. And, to remind you of the rewards you will enjoy when you reach your career goal, we host a variety of programs with speakers from the medical community and medical school admission directors on what you can expect from your life in medical school and beyond.

From the beginning of the program to your first day in medical school, you can count on the Goucher post-bac program to provide the support you need to make the road to your medical career a smooth one.
