Chemistry (Gen Chem I and Gen Chem II) with lab? 8Organic Chemistry (Org Chem I and Org Chem II) with lab8General Physics (Gen Physics I and Gen Physics II) with lab8In addition, a course in Biochemistry is strongly recommended.—English Please note that if you satisfy your undergraduate institution’s English or Literature requirement for your degree program, you will also satisfy ours. 6Behavioral or Social Sciences (Humanities, Psychology, Anthropology, Sociology, Social Diversity, etc.)3Advanced Placement (AP) courses are accepted as long as they appear on your official undergraduate transcript. If you have received AP credit for any of the required science, or Behavioral/Social Sciences courses, we do require that you to take advanced-level college courses to enhance your academic preparation for medical school. Your AP courses must meet the equivalent semester hours required, including any of the associating labs.med.unc.edu/admit/faqs/Duke School of MedicineMCAT Examination and Coursework Expectations:For those who are planning to apply to the School of Medicine at Duke University, our academic expectations will include multidisciplinary coursework in a number of areas and completion of the MCAT examination. If possible, applicants should arrange to take the MCAT as early as possible in the year they plan to apply. MCAT scores dated earlier than four years prior to the year for which an applicant is seeking admissions will not be considered. The latest examination scores accepted from the MCATs for the 2018-2019 application cycle must be from the August 2015 examination.? While the courses below are not required, the School of Medicine clinical and basic science faculty agree the courses denoted below would be helpful in your preparation for the MCAT and for the first year medical school curriculum.? These courses are considered a component of the ‘academic expectations’ as part of more formal training in undergraduate or post-baccalaureate programs.Biochemistry: May be fulfilled by a single course in Biochemistry, or through coursework which incorporates principles of Biochemistry as part of an interdisciplinary course in Cell and/or Molecular Biology and/or Genetics.Cellular Biology: May be fulfilled by a single course in Cell and/or Molecular Biology and/or Genetics.Statistics/Biostatistics: An understanding of the application of statistical methods in the analysis of data is expected given the increasing reliance on current biomedical and healthcare research as part of the curriculum.Physics: An understanding of the correlation of basic physics to human physiology and anatomy (e.g. physics and/or biophysics) should be completed. Labs are optional.Sociology: An introduction to the principles of social organization, with particular emphasis on the social determinants of healthcare is expectedPsychology: An introduction to the basic principles of psychology with emphasis on the biological basis of behavior are recommended.Expository Writing: Experience in expository writing across the humanities, including but not limited to formal courses in English, is a fundamental element in the preparation for medicine. This may be accomplished through coursework in a number of disciplines, including but not limited to Philosophy, History, Public Policy, Political Science, Religion, etc. and may be accomplished through an Honors Thesis or completion of a major research paper.Understanding that the preliminary coursework leading up to the aforementioned cross-disciplinary courses, e.g. Biochemistry, Cell/Molecular Biology, etc., will vary among colleges and universities, the academic expectations as listed represent the absolute courses expected of matriculants to the School of Medicine. The preliminary courses may be acquired through traditional university courses and/or approved online course work if those courses have been approved by your undergraduate institution.medschool.duke.edu/education/student-services/office-admissions/admissions-process/academic-expectationsEast Carolina Brody School of MedicineAdmission Requirements The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is required of all applicants who seek admission to the Brody School of Medicine. Information about this test, which is administered throughout the calendar year, may be obtained online at students. Applicants are asked to take this test in the spring, but no later than fall, of the year prior to their desired matriculation date in medical school, and to have the results sent to the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University. While most successful applicants will have completed an undergraduate degree before enrollment, each applicant must have the equivalent of at least three years of acceptable work at an accredited college or university prior to matriculation in medical school. No specific undergraduate major is required, but regardless of the major interest area, the applicant must have completed one year of each of the following courses (preferably prior to taking the MCAT, and definitely prior to admission): General Biology or Zoology with laboratory (Botany alone is not sufficient to meet this requirement)General Chemistry with laboratory (which must include both qualitative and quantitative analysis)Organic Chemistry with laboratoryPhysics with laboratory, andEnglish (or writing intensive courses)While not required, courses in genetics, biostatistics, biochemistry, humanities, social science, and an additional year of English are strongly recommended. In keeping with AAMC recommendations, applicants are encouraged not to enroll in undergraduate or graduate courses which are likely to be repeated in the medical school curriculum.OUR PREREQUISITE COURSE REQUIREMENTS ARE CHANGING As of the 2020-2021 application cycle (for the entering class of 2021), the course requirements will be as follows: One year of General Biology or Zoology with laboratory (Botany alone is not sufficient to meet this requirement)One year of General Chemistry with laboratory (which must include both qualitative and quantitative analysis)One year of Organic Chemistry with laboratoryOne year of Physics with laboratoryOne year of English (or writing intensive courses)One semester of social sciences/humanitiesOne semester of biochemistry, and One semester of statistics/biostatisticsWhile not required, a course in genetics and an additional year of English are strongly recommended.? In keeping with AAMC recommendations, applicants are encouraged not to enroll in undergraduate or graduate courses which are likely to be repeated in the medical school curriculum.ecu.edu/cs-dhs/bsomadmissions/require.cfmWake Forest School of MedicineAcademic Requirements and Technical StandardsThe School of Medicine seeks future physicians who have mastered a broad science curriculum that includes the knowledge base and promotes the problem-solving skills required by the practice of medicine.In addition, we seek applicants who have thoughtfully prepared to meet the social and emotional needs of patients by including in their formal education a rich exposure to the social sciences and humanities.?For more in depth information, please see the Medical School Admissions Requirements (MSAR)At least 90 hours of college coursework is required to apply, and advanced placement (AP) and other credits are acceptable.
