Our students are the heart of the UC San Diego Post Baccalaureate Premedical Program. Advisors, faculty and staff go out of their way to ensure a comfortable transition into the program, successful growth during the program and a productive gap year. But don't take our word for it. See what our students themselves have to say.

The Post Bacc Premed program builds a community through faculty members, advisors and students that have one another to look to for help, guidance and strength in order to achieve the best possible results." - Sarah Watler

San Diego is the Place To Be
“When I started volunteering at a community clinic, I saw the great work that doctors were doing to serve the diverse population of San Diego. Seeing the positive impact that physicians were having in the community inspired me to want to do the same. My experience in the Post Bacc year was rewarding and I would definitely encourage other students to experience it themselves." – Gerardo Lopez
