The Pre-Medicine Certificate (PMC) is a four-course program designed for students interested in applying for Medicine at Notre Dame upon completing their undergraduate degree. Spanning three compulsory courses and one elective, these additional courses are studied concurrently with your undergraduate degree.
Through service learning, the PMC program will cover health, medicine and society, cultural health issues, and human caring. You will also be supported and mentored by the PMC Team, who will guide you through the program.
