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: 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:
Cellular Biology, and Foundations: Organismal Biology), 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),
326 (Microbiology); and REL 361 (Medical
Ethics).
