UWSOM Office of AdmissionsPage 1E-mail: askuwsom@uw.eduWebsite: Premedical Course RequirementsThe premedical course requirements must be completed before matriculating?and preferably before applying. Undergraduate or post/baccalaureate required courses must be completed at a college or university accredited by the appropriate regional accrediting body. Courses must include a minimum of:Social Sciences or Humanities?-?4 semesters or?6 quarters. Chemistry and Biology?-?6 semesters or?9 quarters.? The subject matter in these courses must include chemistry, biology, biochemistry, molecular genetics, and cell biology/cell physiology, although applicants are not required to take courses with these specific titles.Although a biochemistry course is not absolutely required, it is very strongly recommended. The Foundations curriculum is taught with the assumption that students arrive with a solid grounding in the fundamentals of molecular genetics and biochemistry, including structure and activity of genes and proteins, and intermediary metabolism. A comprehensive undergraduate biochemistry course is the most expedient way to gain this knowledge.Physics - 2 semesters or 3 quarters;?OR 1 semester or 2 quarters of physics?plus 1 semester or 2 quarters of calculus or linear algebra.?The following courses are recommended, but not required:Biochemistry Ethics Anatomy or Comparative Anatomy Human or Mammalian Physiology EmbryologyGeneral Types of courses that FULFILL these course requirements (this list is for your information and is not exhaustive):Social Sciences or Humanities or “Human Condition”: Anthropology, Classics, Cultural Studies/Cross Cultural Studies, English Literature, Ethics, Foreign Language Literature, History, Philosophy, Religion/Theology, Sociology, Study AbroadChemistry and Biology: Biochemistry, Molecular Genetics, Physiology, College level Biology and Chemistry courses taught by the respective departmentPhysics: Physics, Calculus, Algebra (See above)General Types of courses that WILL NOT fulfill these course requirements (this list is for your information and is not exhaustive):Not applicable Social Sciences or Humanities or “How to”: English Composition, English Grammar, Foreign Language Composition, Foreign Language Grammar, Journalism, Leadership, Music Composition, Music Lessons, Performance (Dance, Instrument, Voice, etc.)Not applicable Chemistry and Biology: Laboratory Courses, Research, courses taught by a department other than basic science (for example, courses taught by the nursing department and listed as NURS rather than BIO on your transcript)Not applicable Physics: Astronomy, Atmospheric Sciences, Laboratory CoursesUWSOM Office of Admissions Page 2E-mail: askuwsom@uw.eduWebsite: Course Requirements WorksheetCompleted by: FORMTEXT ?????
