Support BMS & PMP Pathway Programs

In this section

Our alumni often speak about the pivotal moments that shaped their paths in medicine and healthcare careers. As graduates of RFU’s post-baccalaureate pathway programs, your pursuit to a career in health care is a unique story. You can shape the future for the next generation of students in these pathway programs who are achieving their goals by mentoring, telling your story or making a gift to support scholarships.

Success Abounds

These programs not only enrich students’ lives, they redefine professional career trajectories. Alumni from our post-baccalaureate programs – as well as early enrichment pathway programs at RFU – have gone on to many successful endeavors in healthcare.

If RFU didn't have these pathway programs, I wouldn't be a doctor. It wasn't that I couldn't do the work, it's that I needed someone to give me a chance.

Gloria Essien, CMS ’26: “PMP works to not only foster academic excellence, but also to equip us with the professional development necessary to thrive as students and aspiring physicians. PMP students and alumni are a community that continually gives back to the classes rising after us, viewing each other as containers of support rather than competition.”
Michelle Sener, MS ’19, CMS ’23: “I learned that not only could I get accepted to an allopathic medical school but that I could thrive at one. The BMS program was the most influential academic experience that I have ever had.”
Brendan Gurnik, BMS Class of 2024: “These programs not only refine your knowledge of the Biomedical Sciences, but they also work to enhance other qualities of becoming a healthcare professional. Community involvement and managing your time and productivity provide you with the confidence to succeed.”
