Overview
The Eastern Virginia Medical School
Medical Master's degree is a one-year pre-professional
(post-baccalaureate) master's degree program. With the exception
of a library research paper and a seminar course, the majority of the
courses are medical school courses taught by medical school faculty. The
seminar and library research paper are integral parts of the program and
provide opportunities to critically review and integrate concepts from
current biomedical science and clinical literature.
The program provides
an opportunity for highly motivated students to improve their academic
credentials by demonstrating their academic abilities in a rigorous
medical school environment. For this reason, it is particularly suitable
to help students to make themselves more competitive applicants to
medical programs.
