On the Pre-Med Track: Fisher's Medical Pathway Program
If you dream of becoming a doctor, you know the journey can be long and challenging. From college to medical school, there are many steps to take, especially for students exploring a pre-med track.
At Fisher College in Boston, the Medical Pathway Program helps take the uncertainty out of that process. It provides a clear, guided route for students who want to begin their journey in medicine, with the structure and support of a pre-med experience built right in.
A Smarter Way to Reach Medical School
Fisher’s Medical Pathway Program is designed for students pursuing a pre-med pathway. The program partners with St. George’s University (SGU), one of the top medical schools in the world, to create two flexible routes for future medical professionals:
-
3+4 Track – Spend three years at Fisher, then transition straight to SGU’s School of Medicine. You’ll even earn your Bachelor of Science in Biology from Fisher after your first year of medical school.
-
4+4 Track – Complete your full four-year Biology degree at Fisher, then continue on to SGU’s medical program.
Both paths help you build a strong science foundation and prepare for medical school requirements from day one. This means less stress, fewer application hurdles, and more focus on building your pre-med skills and confidence.
Why Students Love This Program
A Clear, Guided Path
You don’t have to navigate your pre-med journey alone. From your first semester, you’ll work closely with faculty and advisors who understand what it takes to succeed in medical school. They’ll help you plan each step, from selecting the right courses to preparing for the transition to SGU.
Strong Science Foundation
You’ll major in Biology and study chemistry, physics, biochemistry, microbiology, and genetics, which are core elements of a solid pre-med education. You’ll also gain hands-on experience through labs, internships, and real-world learning that medical schools value.
Confidence in Your Next Step
The partnership between Fisher College and SGU gives qualified students a conditional pathway to medical school. If you meet the academic and program requirements, your spot at SGU is secure, giving you peace of mind as you move through your pre-med coursework.
