In response to major changes in the priorities of biomedical science and health care, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City is the first medical school in the United States to drive a fundamental shi! in pre-medical education by offering college sophomores from any major early acceptance, no MCAT requirement, and a progressive approach to medical school preparation for half of each entering class.

Our new FlexMed program allows college sophomores to pursue any undergraduate majors, unencumbered by traditional pre-med requirements such as organic chemistry, calculus, and the MCAT.

Important Dates

Named to honor the legacy of Abraham Flexner, a pioneer educator who revolutionized medical education early in the 20th century, FlexMed was designed to transform medical education by cultivating physicians who are grounded in 21st century science and the social context in which they practice medicine. The program builds on the success of Mount Sinai’s Humanities and Medicine (HuMed) program, which in 1987 was the first program in the United States to accept students with a humanities background into medical school during their sophomore year of college.
