• Pathways to health professions careers are increasingly competitive with a widening scope of competencies ~ 15% of medical students report enrolling in a post-baccalaureate program prior to medical school. • Few systematic outcomes reported • Students tend to be older, minority6not children of health clinicians, more likely to enter primary care and serve the underserved. • We designed an interprofessional special master’s program within the School of Medicine to address the existing gap in Duke’s participation in the health professions, biomedical sciences, and health-related workforce pipeline: • We aimed to 1) prepare students to be highly competitive candidates for health professions schools, biomedical careers, and other health-related professions; 2) increase integration of biomedical content & professional formation through experiential learning ; 3) promote efforts to create and sustain workforce diversity; and 4) enhance educational innovation.
