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 Barbara Christie-Pope, 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) or 161
(Accelerated General Chemistry), 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).
