Med Prep starts today! We're proud to welcome 15 future medical students to our (virtual) campus for seven weeks of MCAT prep, tutoring, personal statement review, mock interviews, and so much more as they prepare to enter the Medical School Admissions Process. Students in Med Prep increase their MCAT score by 9 points on average!

Pictured is INMED College Coordinator Kathleen Fredericks, who runs this fantastic program. We don't know what we'd do without her!
