Looking for post-bacc or medical school programs with a focus on including URM/economically disadvantaged students.. I know that in my limited experience, programs like Drexel’s Pathway to Medical School are significantly cheaper and would be feasible for me financially and to help me get into medical school
 
Not sure if this is what you're thinking of in particular, but Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education in West Harlem in NYC is an example of pipeline physician training program. It is a 7 year Bachelors & MD program associated with CUNY School of Medicine that recruits specifically for underrepresented minorities.
 
Quinnipiac/Netter has an MCAT study program geared towards URM. I believe you get a stipend and an automatic interview if you get a certain GPA.
