对抗疗法(MD)

There is no specific major that a student needs in order to continue on in a medical training program after graduation. The biochemistry major most closely tracks with the admission requirements for MD training programs; however, we routinely work with students that are majoring in other areas or double majoring.

In addition to completing a major, students interested in MD training need:

Two semester-long courses in Biology with lab [BIOL 111, 121, 172, or 208; 和 BIOL 237, 256, 257, 260, or 289]
Two semester-long courses in Chemistry with lab [CHEM 117 和 220]
Two semester-long courses in Organic Chemistry with lab [CHEM 230 和 235]
Two semester-long courses in Physics with lab [PHYS 101 和 102]
Two semester-long courses in English with intensive writing
One semester-long course in Biochemistry [BIOL/CHEM 260 or 300]
One semester-long course in Math or Statistics

The following are suggestions to more fully prepare for the MCAT 和 a future career as a physician:

One semester-long course in Psychology [PSYC 100]
One semester-long course in Sociology [SOCI 100]
As many chemistry 和 biology courses that fit into a schedule.
Learn a language that helps you serve diverse people 和 communities.
