The Glide Year
The “glide year” is the time after completing our program and before enrolling in medical school.
Glide Year Support
If you are not going to medical school following completion of your postbac year, we will assist you in your search for a medically related job in the “glide year” - the time between when you complete our program and enroll at medical school.
Because our program is so well respected in the medical community, we regularly receive job leads and postings, including positions created with our students in mind. Recent graduates of our program also provide us with information and contacts about where they are working during their glide year, and even pass their jobs on as they enter medical school. These jobs are posted to an internal online database.
At Bryn Mawr, our faculty and our staff are committed to helping you realize your dream of a career in medicine.
