| Medical professionals make an important contribution to the welfare of many individuals both as health practitioners and as researchers. This curriculum is designed to prepare students who plan to apply to medical school. Unless students have already earned a B.S. or B.A. degree, they will apply to medical school after transferring to a four-year college or university. In many colleges, students must choose a major other than pre medicine. Students often select a major which will provide an alternative career route should they change their occupational plans. Pre-medical students should obtain a copy of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Admissions Requirements Handbook on pre-medical programs and the requirements for admission to AAMC approved medical schools. A copy can be ordered through the Association of American Medical Colleges, Section for Student Services, Suite 201, 2450 N. Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20037. |
