Introduction
The MSMS is designed to improve academic portfolios by building a wealth of health sciences knowledge and identifying pathways to their dream healthcare careers. The classes in the one-year MSMS parallel the curriculum of the first year of LCME-accredited medical schools, so students can be prepared.
With predictive student analytics integrated into our curriculum and course delivery, the MSMS gives students insights into how they will perform in medical school — including their predicted USMLE Step 1 Board score.
Gain a Solid Foundation in Health Sciences
Through the broad-based curriculum, MSMS students will gain a thorough understanding of the basic sciences – anatomy, biochemistry, histology, microbiology, neuroscience, and physiology.
In addition to developing increased professionalism and understanding of legal and ethical principles, students can expect to practice effective oral and written communication skills, throughout the program.

Why study at Ponce Health Sciences University
Why the MSMS at PHSU St. Louis?
A Dynamic Classroom to Ignite Your Potential
With our dynamic classroom model, MSMS students view lectures before class. In-class time is used for topic comprehension, interactive learning and real clinical situations. Improving comprehension, communication, and critical thinking.
Find your Professional Pathway
By completing a Master’s in Medical Sciences rather than a post-bacc, graduates are truly prepared for what’s next. MSMS grads are a step ahead of other applicants pursuing a terminal degree in healthcare and are better prepared to start their careers.
Linkage to PHSU School of Medicine
