Premier Academic Medical Center
Thomas Jefferson University is a leading, internationally recognized academic medical center.

We believe that P4 at Thomas Jefferson University will not only assist you in your completion of requirements for medical or pharmacy school but also help you build a competitive educational and professional foundation for the next steps in your academic career.

Focused Curriculum and Exam Preparation
Curriculum: Our curriculum is designed to provide you with quality education from expert faculty – helping you fulfill academic requirements for medical or pharmacy (PharmD) programs.

Exam Preparation:  Preparation begins with our focused curriculum and continues throughout your time in the P4 with specific exam preparation courses and a comprehensive review at the completion of your program course work.

Linkage Agreement
In addition, P4 has a linkage agreement with Jefferson Medical College, allowing students with academically exceptional records the opportunity to have an early-decision status for admission to medical school.

Small Class Size
Our program is built to provide small class sizes, with lectures and laboratory sections containing a maximum number of 30 and 18 students; respectively. One of the major goals for P4 is to provide a sense of community among our students – building a cohort that will maintain a strong network well beyond the length of the program.

Career/Educational Development
We offer career and educational development workshops and clinical opportunities through our Arts and Science of Healthcare and Health Practicum courses.

Application Advisement
We provide our students with close support for medical and pharmacy (PharmD) school admissions including guidance in applying to these programs as well as preparation for the interview process.
