Editor's notes
- Drexel's 2027-entry deadline (September 1, 2026) has passed; for the next cycle, note that review is rolling by verification date and the program may stop reviewing once it reaches capacity, so verify early. The minimum is 500 hands-on patient care hours and preference goes to applicants with 100 or more community service hours, while the most recent class averaged about 2,600 patient contact hours. The program's mission centers on primary care in under-resourced communities, so a statement that shows that commitment with specifics fits what it says it looks for. The program page also reports that ARC-PA placed it on Accreditation-Probation in July 2026, which applicants should read about directly.
