THE PROGRAM
The New York College of Podiatric Medicine sponsors a Six-Week Summer Pre-Matriculation Program for prospective or entering students who may benefit from an early exposure to the rigorous curriculum of the podiatric medical school.
This program is open to students who need to strengthen their academic performance as a result of a hiatus from school, or to those students who seek greater proficiency in their studies.
GOALS OF THE PROGRAM
There are four main goals of the Summer Pre-Matriculation Program at NYCPM:
To facilitate the adjustment of the podiatric medical student to the
academic environment of the podiatric medical school.
To identify at-risk students and provide an introduction to the pre-clinical sciences.
To provide exposure to podiatric medicine for prospective students.
To serve as an admissions tool to determine a candidate's academic
suitability for the study of podiatric medicine.
