Preparing for Medical School


MERP has a two-part mission:

  • Provide students from diverse backgrounds with the additional academic preparation to foster their success in medical school

  • Help determine the readiness of these students to meet the demands of a fast-paced and rigorous medical school curriculum—like the one at Ross Med.
