Medicine
The requirements for admission to medical school (including osteopathy, podiatry, and veterinary medicine) and the courses which are prerequisites for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) are more or less the same. The MCAT is based upon a core of work in the sciences which should be completed before attempting the Test. A handbook, Education for Careers in Medicine, is available from the pre-med advisors, Professors David Lyon, Truman Jordan, and David Weddle, who can suggest the appropriate choice of core courses and electives.
At Cornell the essential minimum preparation consists of the following courses: BIO 141 and
142 (Foundations I and II),
205 (Cell and Molecular Biology);
CHE 121 and
122 (Chemical Principles I and II),
225,
326, and
327 (Organic Chemistry I, II, and Laboratory);
MAT 112 (Functions) or
141 (Calculus I); and
either
PHY 101,
102, and
114 (Introductory Physics I, II, and Laboratory)
or
111,
112, and
114 (General Physics I, II, and Laboratory).
Other relevant courses are
BIO 312 (Vertebrate Zoology),
313 (Developmental Biology),
315 (Genetics),
324 (Comparative Animal Physiology),
326 (Microbiology); and
REL 361 (Medical Ethics).
