EMDP2 Began at Mason's SciTech Campus in 2014
Mason further solidified its strong relationship with the military community with a five-year, $20 million extension of the Enlisted to Medical Degree Preparatory Program (EMDP2).
Through a partnership with the Uniformed Services University of Health Services (USU), highly qualified active-duty military members complete an intense, two-year academic program that prepares them for medical school. Mason provides the coursework, Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) prep courses and pre-health advising on a contract basis.
Roughly 92% of the program’s students have been accepted into medical schools so far, with more than 100 currently attending medical school.
