Ponce Health Sciences University And University Of Bridgeport Announce New Partnership To Expand Healthcare Career Opportunities

(MENAFN- PR Newswire) Dr. Gino Natalicchio, president of PHSU, expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating, "We are thrilled to be partnering with University of Bridgeport to expand their graduate health science offerings. This collaboration will help PHSU continue our mission of increasing access to healthcare careers and supporting students from diverse backgrounds in achieving their dreams."

The MSMS program offers a unique opportunity for aspiring medical students and healthcare professionals to improve their science GPAs and gain confidence in their abilities, providing them with the chance to complete coursework from the first year of PHSU's Medical Doctorate curriculum. By working together, PHSU and UB are creating additional pathways for students who have not been accepted to medical school or other health professional programs, as well as those who have taken non-traditional paths in higher education.

Dr. Manyul Im, University of Bridgeport's provost and vice president of academic affairs, shared his enthusiasm, saying, "We look forward to bringing the MSMS program to UB's globally diverse campus serving students in the Northeast United States and beyond. This partnership with PHSU will provide aspiring healthcare professionals with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed."

Leveraging the latest advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning, the MSMS program offers cutting-edge resources to help students excel. One of the program's most distinctive features is the use of predictive analytics dashboards, which provide students with insights into their course performance and their potential for success on the USMLE Step 1 exam - a critical exam taken after the second year of medical school. By offering predictive insights before even being admitted to an MD program, MSMS students gain a unique perspective on their medical school potential. These innovative analytics are powered by PHSU's partner, Tiber Health Innovation, a leader in medical education technology.

University of Bridgeport is currently enrolling students for the May and September 2025 start dates.
