“FlexMed is all about flexibility in your education and the opportunity to pursue what you love to learn. It allows talented students with lots of initiative to ‘flex’ their intellectual, creative, humanistic and scientific muscles during college, unencumbered by traditional pre-med requirements and the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT).”
David Muller, MD Professor and Chair, Dean for Medical Education
About the FlexMed Program
In response to major changes in the priorities of biomedical science and health care, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has expanded its renowned Humanities in Medicine (HuMed) program to become the first medical school in the United States to offer early acceptance to college sophomores from any major, with no MCAT requirement, and a progressive approach to medical school preparation for half of each entering class. FlexMed is a groundbreaking new path to medical training at Mount Sinai. It will allow a new cohort of students to join our tradition of cultivating future physicians who are self-directed in their learning, thrive on a culture of academic rigor and mentorship, and have a strong appreciation of human rights and social justice.
The FlexMed program is open to all undergraduates, particularly in the areas of:
Humanities and Social Sciences
Computational Sciences and Engineering
Biomedical Sciences
