RMS Magnet Pre-Medicine Program

Students in the Pre-Medicine strand follow an intensive three-year high school preparatory program which emphasizes science, mathematics, and language skills and will prepare them to be highly competitive in the medical field. The program is designed to encourage and prepare students for entry into high school medical magnet programs or related fields of study.

The purpose of the program is to provide all students with a motivating, skill-based curriculum which teaches job specific medical skills, facilitate student awareness of medical and allied health professions, and start the preparation and training for endless opportunities in the future.

The introduction of the medical magnet program at the middle school level will help students in the decision-making processes of becoming a health professional. This exposure will also help in determining whether to commit to such a rewarding field or to change to another field of interest early enough to obtain all the benefits of their program of choice at the high school level.

RMS medical program is designed to encourage and prepare students for a wide range of professions by emphasizing skills in a decision making, problem solving, verbal and written communication, and computer literacy.

The goals of the program are to develop a professional pre-medical student who has early focus, leadership abilities, and a mature attitude toward his or her academic studies and future career goals; create community awareness and responsibility for citizenship; and establish an on-going partnership with local businesses, hospitals, clinics, private medical practices, and public and private schools.
