MedStart Program at the University of Toledo College of Medicine

The MedStart program is offered by the University of Toledo College of Medicine. It allows qualified students to by-pass the MCAT and gain early acceptance to the medical college in their junior year. Accepted students will attend a summer course at the medical college and after successful completion of their senior year transition into the medical college the following fall. It is a great opportunity for a talented student to relax and enjoy their senior year knowing they already have a seat in one of the nation’s top medical colleges.
