Since it began in 1985, MAMS has selectively identified students who are both driven and dedicated to pursuing a career in medicine, and has been largely successful in helping over 3,000 students gain <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"Medical School List\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/gms\/mams\/program-outcomes\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">admission to US medical schools<\/a>.

These core values align well with the mission of Boston University Chobanian &amp; Avedisian School of Medicine and Boston Medical Center.<\/p>\n<h4>Program Curriculum<\/h4>\n<p>MAMS is a 32 credit program that can be completed in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/gms\/masters-in-medical-sciences\/curriculum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">either one or two calendar years<\/a>, with all students starting in September. Coursework is completed during the fall and spring semesters. A research or literature-based thesis is required and many students elect to complete the program in two years, using the second year to gain valuable research and clinical experience. The curriculum and tuition for the program are identical for both the one and two year options. Coursework is delivered in both lecture and small group formats, fostering a collegial and supportive learning environment where students enjoy helping each other succeed.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to coursework in the medical sciences, students may also opt to pursue interests in other areas such as Public Health, Mental Health Counseling and Behavioral Medicine, or Clinical Research\u00a0by entering a\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/gms\/mams\/curriculum\/specialization-options\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dual degree program<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>How to Apply<\/h4>\n<p>Learn more about our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/gms\/mams\/admissions\/\">application process<\/a>.\u00a0For additional\u00a0information, please contact us at <a href=\"mailto:mams@bu.edu\">mams@bu.edu<\/a> or schedule a meeting <a href=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/mams-admissions\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BUMAMS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/gms\/files\/2017\/02\/facebook_318-136394.jpeg\" alt=\"facebook_318-136394\" class=\"wp-image-51625 alignleft\" width=\"44\" height=\"41\" \/><\/a>Don&#8217;t forget to like us on Facebook for up to date information on admissions and upcoming events!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><script>\r\n  window.unibuddySettings = {\r\n    uni_id: 'boston-university-school-of-medicine',\r\n    colour: '0066CC',\r\n    filterKey: 'degreeId',\r\n    filterValue: '62daf910ea214d1502549003',\r\n    domain: 'https:\/\/popcard.unibuddy.co\/',\r\n    title: 'Unibuddy Popcard',\r\n    align: 'right',\r\n    ubLang: 'en-US',\r\n    ubCookieConsent: 'necessary',\r\n  };\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.unibuddy.co\/unibuddy-popcard.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1\u00a0 or 2 years full-time boston university medical campus &nbsp; Still Accepting Applications for Fall 2026!
