Are you a rising sophomore who might want to skip the MCAT and spend 4 years after MIT in NYC—perhaps Mt. Sinai’s Flex Med program is for you! Maybe you think the career of a physician scientist sounds like the perfect fit—don’t miss Washington University St. Louis’ presentation in the afternoon!
See below for the complete list with more details! Hope to see you all on Monday!

FlexMed allows college sophomores in any major, from any undergraduate institution, to apply for early assurance of acceptance to ISMMS. Once accepted, students are free to pursue their studies unencumbered by the traditional science requirements and the MCAT. Join us for the presentation to learn more about the program, learn about the application process, and learn about what ISMSM is looking for in applicants.

The Georgetown University Special Master's Program is the oldest program of its kind in the country, and the curriculum includes the majority of the M1 medical courses. Our students are graded against the medical students on the same exams, and this rigorous academic environment sets our students up for success in medical school and beyond. Go Physios!
