Hey guys, I will be graduating from undergrad in May 2011 and am planning on taking a year off before deciding if I want to go to med school. I want to stay in a academic environment for that year and get my masters in a health-related field, like health sciences for example. The thing is, with a 3.65 gpa, I don't think SMPs/post-bacc programs are right for me. Does anyone have any suggestions for programs that could give me a taste of a med school-like courseload, but would also be appropriate for me?

Thanks!

Also, I have already fulfilled all prereqs

Just take 1 or 2 classes at a university if you want to keep the brain cells going. You will also raise the gpa a little.
While doing that maybe you should volunteer to boost your ECs or get some kind of certification and work.
