The purpose of this longitudinal (11-year) study of the academic impact on post-baccalaureate graduates' performance profiles from years 2001-2011 is to determine whether or not post-baccalaureate program reinforcement, enrichment, and intervention efforts strategically affected the students' academic performance profile while matriculating at Meharry Medical College-School of Medicine. A second purpose of this study is to provide some predictive information to help identify 'at risk' students to ensure that proactive intervention efforts are provided early in their pursuit of a health professions career, thus avoiding the pitfall of unpreparedness and the lack of counseling.
