Biomedical Careers Program

The Biomedical Careers Program (BCP) began in 1978 to serve undergraduate students in becoming physicians and other health care professionals. BCP is an intensive eight-week summer program offering academic enrichment in the sciences and health care orientated activities. BCP offers three levels of coursework and seven different curricula for students at various stages of their undergraduate education. Each level includes a combination of lectures, laboratories, clinical correlations, and small group sessions. MCAT prep for medical school admissions is also part of the academic component of the Biomedical Careers Program. The non-academic component consist of career counseling and seminar series which include some of the following topics, applying to health professional schools, interviewing for health professional schools, financial aid, cultural competency, professionalism, healthy living, stress management, legal, civic and social responsibility. A recruitment fair and health professional and student panel discussions are held each summer. BCP serves undergraduates who are economically and/or educationally disadvantaged.
