Profile for Success (PFS)
Key Dates: Program Dates: Application Deadline: |
Profile for Success (PFS) is a partnership between the UM School of Dentistry & Medical School. Profile for Success (PFS) is designed for third-year, fourth-year and recent college graduates, including in particular underrepresented and disadvantaged students, who are interested in the fields of medicine or dentistry. The program provides opportunities for students to acquire the necessary skills to become competitive applicants for medical or dental school admission.
Depending on the student’s interests, students spend 60-70% of their time preparing for the DAT or MCAT in structured classes or facilitated study groups. Students are exposed to research, careers in dental/medical education, and in-depth exposure to dental/medical career specialties. Each participant is assigned a dental/medical student mentor, and there are formal and informal opportunities for participants to interact with faculty and staff. Admissions procedures workshops are held to provide exposure to medical and dental school requirements.
The medical component of the program prepares students to navigate the medical school admission process successfully, with activities including mock interviews, personal essay writing, and American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) process workshops.
