Weekly modules: Our instructor-led courses are divided into weekly modules. Each module begins with an Introduction from the instructor, provides resources for the week’s content, and engages you in questions to discuss the applications of the content you are studying. In some weeks you will complete additional mastery activities such as case analyses or lab reports.
We get a lot of questions about taking these courses online so we’ve created a very brief (and free!) guide on “5 Things to Consider When Enrolling in Online Prerequisite Courses for the Health Professions!” Download it now.

"What I like the most about the IHP's prerequisites is how the online format allows for the interjection of incredibly helpful material. This material includes links to videos and animations of DNA transcription and translation, and interactive games for dialing in the names of all the muscles in the body."~ Sean Doherty, MGH IHP Online Prerequisites Student
