Pathways to Medical Programs
Interested in Medical School?
While the RTEC Baccalaureate degree is primarily designed to prepare students for careers in scientific research and lab technology, motivated students can use this degree as a stepping stone toward medical programs with proper planning and course selection.
Bakersfield College’s Medical Professionals Program (MPP) offers personalized support, mentorship, and academic advising to help students pursue careers in medicine and healthcare.
Through MPP, RTEC students can:
- Receive guidance on fulfilling medical school prerequisite courses
- Connect with healthcare professionals and mentors
- Prepare for the MCAT and medical school applications
- Access clinical experience and internship opportunities
