The UCSF School of Medicine offers a comprehensive, structured post baccalaureate program designed for individuals who have been unsuccessful in gaining admission to medical school or who have completed the required undergraduate course work, but feel they need more background before initiating the medical school application process. We are especially interested in individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds or underserved communities .* The UCSF program is designed to help individuals increase their chances of gaining admission to medical school by offering intensive MCAT review, assistance with medical school application preparation, science courses at San Francisco State University, seminars on health care issues in underserved communities, and academic skills workshops. The program begins in June 2009 and is 11 months in duration. It will be limited to 17 individuals in 2009-2010.
The application will be available January 11, 2010 for the 2010-11 academic year. The California Postbaccalaureate Consortium Program Application is a common application that can be used for UCSF and for the UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Los Angeles, UC Riverside, and UC San Diego post baccalaureate programs. Applicants will be required to complete a California Postbaccalaureate Consortium application, a UCSF Post Baccalaureate secondary application and an admissions application for San Francisco State University (The latter two documents will be completed once you have received an acceptance). In addition to submitting a complete online California Post Baccalaureate Consortium application (you must complete all required fields), you must submit supporting materials, which include letters of recommendation, college transcripts, and if you are a reapplicant, a copy of your processed AMCAS application to the centralized service. This centralized service will distribute copies of your materials to UCSF and the other programs that you designate on your online application.

*A disadvantaged individual is one who, from an early age, resided in a low-income community or experienced enduring family, societal, or other hardship that significantly compromised educational opportunities. An underserved community is a geographic location or an identified population that is determined medically underserved based upon U.S. Census data. If you are uncertain about your disadvantaged status, we encourage you to apply. The admissions committee of the UCSF School of Medicine Post Baccalaureate Program is committed to practicing fair and impartial review of each applicant’s file in accordance with the stated criteria for post baccalaureate eligibility and admissions and in accordance with the UC non-discrimination policy.
