About Our Students
Student Profiles
At Bryn Mawr, you will be welcomed into a collaborative premedical education community in which postbac students help one another reach their full potential.
You will find that your fellow postbac students at Bryn Mawr are one of the strongest assets of our program. Coming from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, they form an interactive and supportive community that shares a common goal鈥攂ecoming a physician.
In the process, many postbacs have formed close friendships that endure long after their time at Bryn Mawr.
Peer Collaboration and Support
Once admitted to our program, enrolled students will be able to access an interactive site that provides a marketplace and housing options in the area, and connects classmates to find housing. In addition, a current postbac student will serves as a liaison to assist enrolled students with relocating to and getting ready for their studies at Bryn Mawr.
Our postbac students frequently take the initiative to pursue self-directed learning opportunities. Students collaborate to host Health Interest Programming (HIP), student-led events that explore a health issue or specialty area in-depth. HIP topics are intended to be multi-disciplinary, to reflect the interprofessional nature of health education today.
Postbacs also know how to relax, have fun, and socialize with their fellow students. They engage in student-led committees鈥攕uch as Baking, Diversity, and Wellness Committees鈥攁nd participate in intramural sports, volunteer as assistant coaches of College sports teams, and attend cultural events held in the Tri-Co community.
