A La Carte Packages

The PPC/PPAC/MSPHT programs at ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ are designed to prepare students with a competitive edge for application and admission to advanced healthcare programs. In order to provide enhanced preparation for ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ students, there are several a la carte options that students can select for a discounted fee.

Medical Spanish Immersion

Many healthcare programs view international medical experience and the ability to speak a second language as an application enhancer. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, only 6% of physicians are Hispanic and only 2% of non-Hispanic physicians speak Spanish. In contrast Hispanic people make up 19% of the US population, 70% of whom speak Spanish. Therefore, an applicant may enhance their preparation with medical Spanish experience.

ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ students will have the opportunity to acquire international medical experience in Mexico with training in Spanish. CENEU, in Ensenada, Mexico, will host a two-week special session solely for ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ students two weeks ahead of the start of the fall semester.

This program, including travel, is available to ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ students for $2200.

ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ wants students to have a competitive edge in MCAT preparation and test results.

ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ students have access to the BREM method MCAT Prep Course for a discounted rate of $1500.
