The Pathway Scholars Program (PSP) is a one year graduate certificate program intended for Arizona residents who desire to pursue a career in medicine. The program is designed for students who have experienced unique or greater than average challenges in preparing to become competitive medical school applicants. Consideration will be given to Arizona Residents that are:
- Socioeconomically disadvantaged.
- First generation college attendees.
- From rural Arizona.
- Members of Federally recognized American Indian Tribes.
- Committed to serving the under-served and diverse populations of Arizona.
The purpose of this program is to prepare students for success in medical school or other fields of medicine. The program emphasizes academic support, and students work with a dedicated learning specialist to personalize a learning plan tailored to individual academic needs and strengths. The curriculum includes basic biomedical science, evidence-based medicine, clinical practicums in select health care settings, as well as professional development and socialization.
Upon successful completion of the PSP, students will earn a Master of Medical Studies, and if the student has met set milestones and competencies, will matriculate into the College of Medicine – Phoenix.
