Transformed Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Scholars Program

The Baylor College of Medicine Center of Excellence in Health Equity, Training and Research (COE) is committed to developing and supporting pre-medical students from populations that have been traditionally under-represented in the physician workforce. 

The COE Transformed Post-Baccalaureate Premedical (TPP) Scholars is designed to enhance the training of select students enrolled in the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences Post-Baccalaureate Certificate of Completion in Biomedical Sciences and Health Equity. The goal is for selected scholars to successfully matriculate into a M.D. or D.O. program at an accredited U.S. medical school. Alumni will also continue to have access to resources, information, events, and other relevant programs offered by the center.
