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: Biology 141 and 142 (Foundations I and II), 205 (Cell and Molecular Biology); Chemistry 121 and 122 or 161 (Chemical Principles I and II), 225, 326, and 327 (Organic Chemistry I, II, and Laboratory); Mathematics 112 (Functions) or 141 (Calculus I); and either Physics 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 Biology 312 (Vertebrate Zoology), 313 (Developmental Biology), 315 (Genetics), 324 (Comparative Animal Physiology), 326 (Microbiology); and Religion 361 (Medical Ethics).
