Creighton University now offers a non-credit, Pre-Med Educational Seminar (PMED) series to students planning to apply to medical school after their undergraduate careers. The co-curricular program and its activities are designed to complement the student’s academic and scholarly achievements.
- A six-semester series of weekly seminars and other activities designed to strengthen the candidacy of Creighton students as they prepare for the medical school application process.
- The series begins in the first semester of the freshman year and concludes after the second semester of the junior year.
- Seminar activities include workshops that address interviewing, preparing an AMCAS application, writing personal statements and developing solid shadowing experiences among other important topics.
- PMED will allow students to develop and maintain quality relationships with advisors and those providing input to the campus letter (see below). The impact will be visible across the University.
Creighton has joined many other top-ranked universities in offering students university-level letters to include in their applications to medical school.
- Medical schools are looking for these letters as an important part of an applicant’s dossier.
- The letter is not required, but does help to give the student an edge in the admissions process.
- Students who register for and successfully complete all 6 semesters of the seminar offered during their 4-year undergraduate program will be eligible to have a Campus Letter sent on their behalf. (Students will normally register for PMED 101 & 102 in the Freshman year, PMED 201 & 202 in the Sophomore year, and PMED 301 & 302 in the Junior year).
