Post-Baccalaureate Program Linkage Agreements

The CWRU School of Medicine University Program maintains selective linkage agreements with distinguished post-baccalaureate premedical programs, including Goucher College Post-Baccalaureate Program and Bryn Mawr Post-Baccalaureate Program. These agreements provide a streamlined admissions process for qualified students who demonstrate strong academic potential and a clear commitment to our institution.

We are proud to partner with SOFtoSOM to provide a streamlined pathway for U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) veterans transitioning into medicine. This linkage agreement recognizes the exceptional leadership, resilience, and unique life experiences that SOFtoSOM Scholars bring to the medical profession. Through this partnership, qualified S2S Scholars receive a guaranteed interview to join our incoming class.
