There are numerous resources online about how to identify and apply to postbaccalaureate programs like PREP.  One resource we recommend is Científico Latino's Youtube video of a presentation titled Overview of Post-bac/NIH-PREP Programs in the Biosciences. If you have any questions for OHSU PREP, please contact us at preptograd@ohsu.edu. We look forward to hearing from you!

The goal of OHSU PREP is to provide individuals who are interested in pursing research-oriented graduate degrees (Ph.D. or Ph.D./M.D.). However, please be aware that OHSU PREP programming is specifically focused on preparation for research careers.
