WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH A GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN MOLECULAR MEDICINE 

Impress Health-Profession School Admission Boards  

Are you considering going to medical school or another kind of health-profession school? Competition for admission is fierce, and statistics show only about 40% of applicants are accepted. One way to stand out is to develop critical skills and prove your expertise with a credential from a noted medical education institution. UMMC’s Graduate Certificate in Molecular Medicine can provide you with that advantage. Note: We recommend that aspiring health-profession school applicants take more than the minimum number of credit hours to complete this Certificate. 

Gain Admission to Higher Education Degree Programs 

Our Graduate Certificate can help elevate your application for a master’s degree program, differentiating you from other applicants and clearly demonstrating that you can succeed in a graduate program. Our Graduate Certificate also provides a good way to “test the waters” of graduate-level studies without the time or cost commitment of a degree.  

Advance in Your Existing Healthcare or Scientific Career  

The knowledge that you gain in our Graduate Certificate Program, your new credential and your demonstrated initiative to learn more will help you garner greater respect from your superiors and potential employers. Your Certificate may enable you to qualify for advancement in your current organization or compete for a role within a new organization. 

Transition Into Healthcare From Another Field 

If you’re working outside healthcare but looking to transition into the field, you’ll need formal medical training and credentials. Our Graduate Certificate Program is a good way to ease into your studies, provided you have a bachelor’s degree in a science-related field or the minimum required courses in biology, chemistry, engineering, math or physics.
