Temple's Pre-Med Health Scholar Program has a linkage agreement with The Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, offering students the opportunity to excel in the competitive and evolving field of health care. The program is designed for high-achieving students who have distinguished themselves with impressive academic records and a demonstrated interest in the field of medicine.

Please note that beginning with the entering undergraduate class of 2025, interested students will need to begin the application process in their first year at Temple University.

Accelerated Programs for Dentistry, Pharmacy, Podiatry, Physician Assistant, and Physical Therapy

The Temple University Accelerated Programs include the 3+4 for Dentistry (BA/DMD), Pharmacy (BA/PharmD), and Podiatry (BA/DPM); the 3+2 Physician Assistant Program (BA/MMS); and the 3+3 Physical Therapy Program (BA/DPT). These programs have linkage agreements with the corresponding Temple University professional school or graduate program. The programs are designed for high-achieving students who have distinguished themselves with impressive academic profiles, commitment to service, and a demonstrated interest in their respective field of interest. Applications for these programs are submitted during the student's first semester at Temple University.

The Accelerated Programs allow consideration for provisional acceptance to Temple University Schools of Dentistry, Pharmacy, Podiatry, as well as the Physician Assistant and Physical Therapy Programs and allow students to complete their undergraduate degrees in a shorter period of time after successfully passing all courses in the first year of professional school.

A post-baccalaureate program is for students who have already completed an undergraduate degree, and are interested in a health professions career. They need either to finish pre-requisite courses and/or need to improve their academic standing for a more competitive professional school application.
