Is it possible to go to medical school if I’ve already graduated from college without the sciences courses I need? 

There are plenty of instances where applicants begin to consider medical school after they have completed their undergraduate degrees – even after being in other careers for a time.  If this is the case, it’s likely that you’ll need to bolster your premedical science background.  There are postbaccalaureate programs at colleges and universities across the country that will help you prepare for the premedical science coursework required for medical school.

The programs range from formal, one- and two-year programs for full-time students to more informal part-time ones. Some specialize in applicants who are planning to change careers, while others focus on those enhancing their prior academic performance.  Also, if you were a science major in college, but some time has passed since you took premedical courses, you might consider these programs as well.
