The medical profession needs individuals from diverse educational backgrounds who will bring to the profession a variety of talents and interests. Educational philosophies and goals, specific course requirements and other qualifications for admission vary greatly among the nation's 126 medical schools. All, however, recognize the importance of a broad education, such as a strong foundation in the natural sciences (biology, chemistry and physics), excellent communication skills and a solid background in the social sciences and humanities. A science major is not a prerequisite for admission to medical school, but a strong background in the prerequisite science courses plays a large role in the admission process.


Our Program
In the Pre-Medicine Program, The University of Findlay has identified a select group of courses designed to meet the admission requirements for most medical, dental and chiropractic schools in the United States and abroad. Students complete these major course requirements during their first three years of study.  The Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) is taken in the spring of the junior year and students apply to medical schools in the fall of their senior year.
