  • Medical Cooperative Program (MEDCORP)

    The Medical Cooperative Program provides college students with an intense, comprehensive program of study for the MCAT/DAT admission exams. Kaplan-trained instructors lead students though a course of study intended to reinforce students' knowledge of chemistry, physics,  and biological sciences. A verbal reasoning section is also included. Students participate in clinical preceptorships with community and/ or UMMC physicians designed to provide them with a meaningful health care professional shadowing experience.

    Applications are now available.   

    During summer 2012, we are only hosting MEDCORP III and IV.
