Pre-Med

Â鶹¸£Àûgraduates are accepted into the top medical schools in the country. Recent first-time applicants achieved an 84% acceptance rate, among the highest in the nation.

Overview

A Â鶹¸£Àûeducation gives you skills in analysis, critical thinking, and oral and written communication — abilities that enable you to get into leading med schools, do well in your professional studies, and establish a successful medical career.

Â鶹¸£Àûprovides for-credit internships in medical and other science-related settings. Through strategic partnership with Danville’s , students participating in the Â鶹¸£ÀûUnites with Ephraim (CUE) program gain first-hand experience in the medical environment.

Â鶹¸£Àûstudents have many opportunities to do joint research with faculty members. Students often co-author papers for publication with their professors and later present their work at professional meetings. These publication credits and professional experiences help in gaining admission to med schools.

In the second semester of their sophomore year, students may apply for the Early Assurance Program (EAP). Centre’s partnership with the University of Kentucky College of Medicine-Northern Kentucky Campus provides early assurance of admission for selected students who complete the program requirements and graduate from Centre.
