We are often asked, “Can I get it all done?” In short, yes, easily. Many courses count for both the pre-physician assistant concentration and Hiram’s core curriculum. And we help mentor you to not only develop the right transcript but also the right resume. Through Hiram Connect, which requires all graduates to engage in shadowing and research, you’ll have multiple opportunities to try on medicine, letting you evaluate your skills and passions before plunging head-first into professional school.
This may sound like a lot, but your time won’t be completely dominated by your chosen path. You’re encouraged to pursue other passions, too. Minors let you weave your other interests into your pre-professional work. We’re here to help you become a well-rounded caregiver.
