• I am not a Community College student, can I participate?
  • Yes, the program is open to everyone regardless of their academic background. Medical schools use the same admissions standards for both students who started at a Community College and those who started at a four-year University.
• Why is PreMedCC for Community College Students?
  • PreMedCC is not just for community college students; however, we believe that most community college students lack access to pre-med advisors, research, and other opportunities. We strive to create a community that provides opportunities to hear from experts, decision-makers, and former Community College students who are now in the medical field. We reiterate that all of our content is open and accessible to EVERYONE.

When are your Events?

• Events are typically on Fridays from 5 pm to 6:30 pm PST, and Saturdays from 10 am to 11:30 pm, although we may occasionally have other programs at other times and and on other days. Regardless, all of our sessions will be recorded, posted, and available to you anytime on Youtube.  You can access those links through enrolling in the event at the All Events page on our website as well.

  • No worries, we understand that students are a busy group! All of our sessions will be recorded and posted on Youtube. You can register for the event on our website and find the convenient YouTube link in the Event Description. Watch the event on YouTube, then log back in to take the quiz, and receive your certificate at your own convenience.

• I have specific questions about being PreMed, how can I get them answered?
