Graduate Medical Program

Graduate Medical Program (GMP) or sometimes also known as Graduate Entry Program (GEP) are terms generally used outside of the United States referring to medical programs generally of 4-years duration where applicants are university graduates who have taken aptitude tests such as the GAMSAT. Most schools of medicine within the United States only have programs of 4-years duration and consider only applicants who have completed university degrees. Therefore, this term is rarely used in the United States. However, since in places such as Australia, Japan, Ireland, and India, medical applicants are generally high school graduates and only a smaller portion would choose to consider obtaining a university degree first, the terms "Graduate Medical Program" and "Graduate Entry Medicine" have evolved into being over the past decade.
