MS Cellular and Molecular Medicine Medical Track

The Pre-Medical Admissions Pathway (P-MAP) Program is coordinated through the UA College of Medicine-Tucson Offices of Admissions and Diversity and Inclusion. P-MAP is an intensive full-time, 12-month program (May 2015-May 2016) designed to help students who have experienced greater than average challenges in preparing to become competitive medical school applicants and succeed in medical school. The program involves admission to the UA Graduate College and the Master of Science program in Cellular and Molecular Medicine (CMM), in addition to participation in seminars and activities. Upon successful completion of all program components (i.e. 3.0 GPA or above and an MCAT score of at least 22), students will be admitted to the UA College of Medicine-Tucson campus.The P-MAP program provides an individualized approach through personalized plans focusing on three main areas:1. Educational Enrichment: Consisting of a combination of undergraduate and/or graduate coursework, learning assistance and MCAT preparation.2. Professional Socialization: Development of professional skills that are expected of a physician, including mentorship, clinical experience, opportunities to give professional presentations and clinical medicine professional etiquette.3. Life Management: Training and coaching in financial and stress management, goal setting, and access to confidential counseling services. The goal of the P-MAP curriculum is to facilitate the development of knowledge and skills that are needed for students to be successful in medical school and to eventually become providers of high-quality healthcare for our communities.
