Every year, ambitious sophomores at FIU’s Honors College are given the distinctive opportunity of being considered for guaranteed admission at the Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine (HWCOM).
In addition to securing an acceptance of admission, the HWCOM Early Assurance Program assists students throughout their premedical planning by helping to define and broaden their academic interests and provide mentorship as the students explore and learn more about the medical profession.
This prestigious program has a less than 15 percent acceptance rate. This year, six students were selected for the fifth cohort. Among them are ER volunteers, members of various pre-health student organizations, research assistants and participants of physician shadowing programs.
