Drexel University College of Medicine

Drexel University College of Medicine is now home to one of the most innovative medical simulation centers in the country. The Independence Blue Cross Medical Simulation Center at Drexel University College of Medicine opened this month at the campus on Queen Lane in the East Falls section of Philadelphia. The center includes the latest high-fidelity human patient simulators to help students and practicing physicians gain experience in a realistic, interactive clinical environment with the newest technology available.

Traditional applicant interviews for the M.D. program scheduled for this week will continue until further notice. Please check the Web site for weather-related updates.

Drexel University College of Medicine has contacted all fast-track applicants, whose interviews scheduled for Saturday, February 6, 2010, were cancelled due to the snowstorm.

Drexel University College of Medicine is the first and only medical center in the region to participate in a national research study evaluating a stem cell therapy for patients following a heart attack. The therapy, Prochymal®, is a formulation of adult stem cells that may have the ability to reduce inflammation and promote heart cell regeneration.
