Inspired to change your career and enter medicine?

The Johns Hopkins Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program can prepare you for your career as a physician through world-renowned science education, outstanding medical tutorial opportunities, and extensive advising.

Our program includes courses that synthesize science coursework with practical applications to prepare you for medical school, while medical tutorials offer students exceptional clinical and research experiences with faculty from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

A small group of peers set amidst the many resources and opportunities within the wider institution make this program unique.

Admissions and Application

Our application is now open for the 2023-2024 cohort. We are accepting applications to begin the program in Summer 2023 and Fall 2023 and will continue to review completed applications as long as seats remain available. We encourage applicants to apply early as we have a small cohort size of 25-30 students and will close applications when the class is full.

If you need to send materials to our program, please email them to postbac@jhu.edu. Credentials are considered “official” if they are sent to us directly from the institution or letter writer.

“If the postbac year doesn’t test your mental stamina, perseverance, time management skills, and academic work ethic, you’re not going to the right program! Medical school is challenging, and the Hopkins Postbac prepares you for the first year. The school and community have so much to offer.”
