What Our Students Say
“I chose the biomedical sciences program to help me better myself as a student prior
to starting medical school. Attending medical school while completing the master's
program gave me the chance to witness what the life of a medical student is like and
gave me the motivation I needed to keep fighting for the goals I set out in college.”
Krupesh Patel, MS/Biomed '22
“The unique curriculum and opportunity to take classes within the DO program made
it an easy decision to matriculate into the biomedical sciences program.”
Teighlor Livingston, MS/Biomed '22
“This program allowed me to attend classes with the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine
students and better prepared me for medical school.”
Kylie Parrish, MS/Biomed '22
“PCOM has a family-feel. I did the Masters of Biomedical Sciences program at PCOM
prior to medical school, and saw that the students were always looking to help one
another and were never competing. Also, the faculty were always willing to take the
time to help students when they needed it. Finally, I love the extracurricular opportunities
at PCOM, including various clubs and intramural sports.”
Kimberly Townsend, DO '24, MS/Biomed '20
