Since 2007, we have helped nearly 90% of each graduating class gain acceptance to medical school. While there are no guarantees, the MS in Physiology program provides a direct comparison with medical students and will significantly strengthen your application credentials. Here are some quick facts about our program:

• Our small class size (40 students) allows us to devote significant resources to each student.
• Over half of the year is spent alongside medical students, taking the same classes and working alongside them.
• The Program Director writes periodic updates on each student and sends them to the school(s) of their choosing.
• Our Capstone Project offers the opportunity to work one-on-one with a faculty adviser on a comprehensive literature or laboratory-based project.
• The University of Cincinnati College of Medicine is a consistently highly ranked, well-respected medical school, and is the second-oldest public medical school in the country (founded 1819).
• Cincinnati is an affordable and fun city to live in, with a plethora of beautiful parks and diverse social offerings.
