Provided you are actively enrolled in BMS coursework, you'll be granted an interview in another RFU clinical program of your choice, including those in Chicago Medical School, College of Health Professions, College of Pharmacy, or Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine, provided you meet the admission requirements and complete the application process for your chosen RFU program.

BMS students learn medical-school level content in courses such as biochemistry, physiology and foundations of clinical medicine, taught by Chicago Medical School faculty who understand the challenges and demands of preparing for careers in medicine and other health professions. In addition to your MS in biomedical sciences, you’ll also earn a graduate certificate in either health administration or population health strategies, for enhanced expertise as a practicing clinician.

If you’re looking to gain additional leadership and community service experience during your time as a BMS student, Rosalind Franklin University has more than 80 student organizations for you to consider. Getting involved is a great way to meet students enrolled in other RFU programs, make a positive impact on your community, and demonstrate your proficiency in these areas on your application to medical school or other health professions programs.
