The Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program at Johns Hopkins University hosts two information sessions annually. These virtual sessions give students a chance to meet program staff, and ask specific questions about the program and application process. We also host free virtual advising sessions<\/a> on topics of interests to premedical students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
