Pre-Medical, Enabling and Bridging Programs
If you’re thinking about applying for medicine or about to commence first year but want to brush up on some skills, then a pre-medical program might be for you. Pre-Med programs are short term courses that will boost your knowledge of basic sciences and get you orientated to studying.
Enabling and/or bridging courses are offered to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and are aimed at providing you with the necessary skills to undertake a medical or other health degree and will give you options should you decide medicine is not for you.
Both options provide Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who may not be ready to go straight into medicine with the opportunity to improve their chances of being accepted in the following year. These courses are developed to:
- Provide educational pathways for students lacking traditional qualifications for entry into university
- Prepare for university study, students who require additional preparation through foundation skills and knowledge development, confidence building and/or awareness
- Assist prospective students with the transition into higher education, and hence better position students for persistence and success and
- Generally promote widening participation in higher education and breaking down of traditional barriers to study
(Taken from Healthy Futures: p32, 2005)
To find out more about what courses are available please contact one of the medical schools listed in your area.
