What Students are Saying
The Graduate Certificate Program was one of the best decisions I made to kick-start my medical career.

The habits I built during that year still stick with me today.Brendan Condit, M.D., '23, Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine
The Graduate Certificate Program (GCP) at FIU HWCOM has provided me with more than just a supplementary educational experience. What felt like a golden ticket into medical school was actually a year of broadening my foundational science knowledge, networking with medical school faculty and leadership, making long lasting friendships, and furthering my passion for medicine.Fariha Hasham-Mufti, M.D., '22 Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine, Pediatrics Resident at Inova L.J. Murphy Children's Hospital
When I first applied to medical school and was not accepted to any programs, I felt like I was lost in the woods without a path. The GCP program revealed that path to me. This program, put simply, changed me and my family's life. If you are willing to put in the work, they will invest in you and help you become the physician you know you can be.Jake Levine, M.D., '17 Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine, Internal Medicine Resident at University of Michigan
GCP was truly a turning point in my journey to becoming a physician. It gave me not only the academic foundation I needed to thrive in medical school, but also the confidence and support to believe in my calling. The faculty genuinely cared about our growth and made complex concepts come alive in ways that still stick with me today. I’m forever grateful.Elizabeth Armenis, M.D., '17 Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine, Pediatrics Resident at University of Louisville School of Medicine
