What is Pre-Med?

A pre-med program is a course of study intended to prepare students for either allopathic medical school (MD), 骨科医学院(DO), 或足部医学院(DPM). 学生可以选择任何专业,但仍然是医学预科, 但在他或她热爱的专业中会最成功. However, there are common prerequisite science courses required or recommended by medical schools. 此外,学生必须参加医学院入学考试(MCAT)。.

    堪萨斯大学医学中心的医学生

    “正是这些人让本笃会如此特别. 我在与优秀教授的关系中感受到的关怀和支持, dedicated classmates, and the best coach and teammates I could have asked for are what have helped me to be successful in my medical pursuits. The examples of servant leadership that I experienced daily set standards for how I wish to serve others as a physician. While the academic rigor of Benedictine prepared me well for a career in medicine, I believe it is the genuine relationships and community of compassion that I experienced throughout my four years that prepared me the most.”

    “进入本尼迪克特学院真的是一份礼物, 通过医学预科课程,我得到了巨大的支持和鼓励. 个性化的指导对我的日程安排产生了很大的影响, gaining research experience, 准备MCAT考试和录取程序. Benedictine uniquely places the Catholic faith at the center of all the school does: not only did I receive a well-round education, 我从我的导师和同龄人身上看到了我想成为的人. I hope I can take what I received at Benedictine to serve God in each patient I encounter in the future. 如果让我重新选择在哪里完成我的医学预科, 每次都是本笃会!"

    通过小班授课, gifted faculty, 课外资源, Benedictine College offered me a welcoming environment that both challenged and excited me to pursue medicine. The robust education pre-med students receive not only leads to a successful medical school application, but it also prepares each student for the academic rigors they will meet in medical school. Yet more importantly, Benedictine College’s authentic Catholic liberal arts approach provides its students with the human formation necessary to cultivate the call to one day serve others as a physician. 这种文化教会了我融入社会的重要性, rather than separating, 我的天主教徒生涯和我的医学生涯, 对此我非常感激.

严格的文科形式

医学院是学术密集的学校, requiring a heavy load of memorization and the comprehension of complex scientific ideas. Furthermore, 它需要批判性分析的能力, process, apply, 并交流所学的信息. A mixture of science and liberal arts classes will give a strong base for success in medical school.

Benedictine College offers a variety of rigorous courses in the sciences and liberal arts that will provide not only the prerequisites needed for medical school, but also the liberal arts framework that helps with critical analysis as well as written and oral communication.

Best Pre-Med Majors

There are common prerequisite courses you have to take to be admitted to medical school, and several majors will allow you to take these prerequisite courses within the major. These majors are academically rigorous, preparing you for the demands of medical school. Some examples of pre-med majors that can help students prepare for medical school are Biology, Biochemistry, Psychology, or Chemistry.

根据美国医学院协会(AAMC), the most common major among matriculated medical students is biology or biochemistry (54% of matriculants), followed by chemistry (10% of matriculants) and psychology (10% of matriculants).

Outside the Classroom

医学院不仅要求学生有优异的学习成绩, 而且在课堂之外也有很强的领导能力和服务能力. Students should seek out service opportunities both at the college and in the broader community that demonstrate a desire to help others with compassion and empathy. Furthermore, 学生应该表现出在不同环境中成为领导者的能力, 建立清晰的个人成熟度. Benedictine College has numerous opportunities to be involved in student organizations, academic groups, 以及国内外的社区服务项目.

牢固的师生关系

医学院希望学生有强有力的评估信, 保证学生的学术能力和整体动机. At Benedictine College, 因为小班授课和教授指导的研究机会, 学生有很多机会与教授进行一对一的交流. This builds relationships that will not only help with recommendation letter writing, but will provide sustainable professional relationships that will provide a basis of community learning during a student’s undergraduate career and beyond.
