Pre-Matriculation Program
The Heritage College Pre-Matriculation Program is a four-week, intensive summer pre-enrollment program for incoming first-year medical students from Appalachian regions of Ohio, for students who have successfully completed the Heritage College post-baccalaureate program and for students who qualify as a federally defined underrepresented minority in medicine.
Program Components
The program is designed to help transition the participants to an active learning through self-directed study process and to reinforce strategies that promote life-long learning. The curriculum uses a case-based learning approach that allows program participants to explore basic science concepts (e.g., anatomy, physiology, biochemistry) that form the foundation for clinical concepts. The program includes:
- Problem-based learning in small groups
- Anatomy (lecture and laboratory)
- Introduction to osteopathic manipulative medicine
- Workshops on active study methods
- Test-taking strategies and time management
