Our health care system needs doctors who want to practice in a rural setting and medical schools are looking for students with rural backgrounds. In Selkirk College's Rural Pre-Medicine Program, you will experience what it means to be a rural health care provider.
Join us in studying courses tailored to rural medicine recommended for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). Making our program unique is extra training in skills such as conflict resolution, small business training and MCAT preparation that will strengthen your medical school applications and support your future as a medical professional. By enriching your learning with additional courses, you will also gain knowledge and personal resilience that will contribute to your abilities. RPM prepares you for further education in a variety of health-care professions such as pharmacy, medicine, dentistry, optometry and veterinary medicine.
