California Postbaccalaureate Consortium
Our Mission
The California Postbaccalaureate Consortium (formerly the UC Consortium) is a partnership of postbaccalaureate premedical programs at the Schools of Medicine at Charles R. Drew University, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Los Angeles, UC San Francisco, and Tribal Health - Cal Poly Humboldt. The mission of the Consortium is to increase the number of physicians who practice in shortage areas of California by assisting capable and dedicated students from disadvantaged backgrounds in gaining admission to medical school.
This site is part of a joint online application service for the California Postbaccalaureate Consortium programs, which allows candidates to apply to one or more of the programs simultaneously.
