About the MSMS.

The pre-medical master’s program trains students in the essential medical sciences to produce more quality healthcare students from diverse backgrounds for Medical Schools.

THE DYNAMIC CLASSROOM MODEL

Self-guided lectures and readings are assigned outside of the classroom, so students are free to study digitally whenever it best fits their schedule. These lessons are then applied to dynamic class discussions, virtual labs, and competency training.

Our analytics help advise the future of our students every step of the way to assure they are on their individual path to success.

CAREER PATHWAYS THAT LEAD TO MORE THAN JUST MEDICAL

Beyond just advancing students toward medical school, the MSMS degree has helped many of the graduates continue toward other medical pathways, including osteopathy, dental and pharmacy schools.

CURRICULUM THAT MIRRORS THE 1st YEAR OF MEDICAL SCHOOL

The MSMS methodology provides students with a broad-based, one-year core curriculum that mirrors the first year of LCME-accredited medical school programs. The program spans three semesters, with two 18-credit semesters and one six-credit semester (total of 42 credit hours).

ANALYTICS THAT BETTER PREDICT STUDENT SUCCESS

The MSMS methodology is built on Tiber Health's Analytics Suite, which collects student exam responses to identify strengths and weaknesses in USMLE Disciplines, Systems, and LCME accreditation standards.

The analytics also model your current level of understanding of the USMLE Systems and Disciplines, comparing it to past students who have successfully passed the USMLE Step One on their first attempt, so you know exactly where to focus your additional study time.
