The Glide Year
The glide year is the time between finishing our program and starting medical school.
Glide Year Support
If you're not going to medical school immediately after completing our postbac program, we'll help you find a medically related job for your "glide year" - the time between finishing our program and starting med school.
Thanks to our strong reputation in the medical community, we regularly receive job leads tailored to our students. Alumni also share opportunities and often pass on their positions as they begin medical school. These openings are posted to our internal job database.
At Bryn Mawr, our faculty and our staff are committed to helping you realize your dream of a career in medicine.
Here's a small sample of recent glide year roles:
Medical Assistant | New York, NY
Patient care in a dermatology practice learning core clinical skills applicable to all areas of medicine, as well as an understanding about the fundamentals of patient management and clinical decision-making
