PSDO 630 is a 2-credit hour course for students who are post-graduate or currently in pre-health professional programs considering careers in medicine. The course provides access to medical professionals across the UAB system in clinical and classroom settings. The in-person component is dedicated to discussion of clinical and bench research careers, the professional school admissions process, life in training and as a practicing provider, and a variety of associated topics. Attendance at the weekly, 2-hour classroom-based interactive sessions is required. The other course component requires students to complete at least 15 shadowing hours from multiple established opportunities associated with the Physician Experience program.
If you have considered applying to medical school and/or MD/PhD programs, we encourage you to apply.
We are now accepting applications for Fall 2025! Our review process will begin on March 26, and offers of enrollment will start at that time. However, spots are limited, and we will continue to accept students only until the course is full.
