About

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, 13-month program (starting in May and ending the following summer) 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 (with a minimum 3.0 GPA), 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 graduate coursework, learning assistance and Thesis guidance.

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.

Funding Opportunities

The CMM Masters Program does not provide financial aid, however students may contact the Office of Financial Aid for assistance.

Students who are admitted to the P-MAP program are responsible for paying the academic and living expenses. Financial aid is available to those who qualify based on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Graduate students may be eligible to receive aid from the following federal student aid programs: Direct Loan Program, Federal Perkins Loan Program, and Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program. The Federal Direct Loan Program offers the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan and Federal Direct Grad PLUS loans. All P-MAP matriculates will be placed on the Perkins Loan waitlist to be reviewed for eligibility independently of the Federal Direct Loans. You will be notified if you are awarded Perkins as funds are limited and are based on high financial-need. Federal Work-Study is available to graduate students based on financial need and available funds. The P-MAP curriculum is rigorous and the program requirements do not generally allow for employment. If interested in FWS, please discuss with the P-MAP advisory group and the College of Medicine Financial Aid Office.
