专业概况

在这里学什么？

If you’ve decided to explore a career in medicine, Western Michigan University has a four-year pre-medicine study plan and medical sciences advisors available to help you create an individual program that will position you to apply to medical schools of your choice. Pre-medical students are committed to a rigorous academic schedule and must carefully plan and do well in both coursework and extracurricular activities. Preparation for medical school requires dedication, resourcefulness, vigilance and motivation.

Medical schools increasingly want students with diverse backgrounds and a variety of skills and interests. A science major is not a prerequisite for medical school, although good training in chemistry, biological sciences and physics is expected. Medical schools are most concerned with the overall quality and scope of undergraduate work and want students to have well-developed communication skills and interests in the humanities and social sciences.

Nearly every medical school requires two semesters each of English, physics, biological sciences, inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry. Many medical schools also require additional courses in biology, chemistry, mathematics, humanities, and social and behavioral sciences.

When choosing a major, carefully consider your interests, aptitude and alternate career goals. Remember: Not everyone who applies is accepted into medical school. It is wise to have a degree in a major you can be comfortable with and one you can fall back on for a career.

Majoring in one of the natural sciences may provide some advantages in terms of the pre-medical course requirements fitting more easily into degree requirements, but admission statistics show no clear preferences toward science majors. Most pre-medical students at WMU take a major-minor combination of biology or biomedical sciences and chemistry. Many pursue a second minor in a non-science area, which provides a broader base for personal and intellectual development.

After you graduate

While career opportunities for graduates of WMU's pre-medicine program include allopathic medicine, osteopathic medicine and other health-related careers, all students contemplating a career in the medical field should develop alternative career goals for two reasons. First, competition for entrance into medical school makes an alternative career choice a reality for some people. Secondly, as part of wise career planning, it is important to examine many fields to make sure that potentially rewarding occupations have not been overlooked.

Talents and skills can be used in many settings. For example, someone who enjoys working with people, a good salary, some travel and management responsibility might look into the fields of public relations, management, sales, law and engineering.

For those who want to stay in a health care setting, the opportunities are still excellent. Various health care careers require a range of education and training, from certificate programs to graduate work. The following is a small sample of alternate health care professions.

Sample health care professions

Allopathic medicine Anesthesiologist's assistant Biomedical engineering Chiropractic medicine Clinical psychology Dentist Dental hygienist Dental assistant Dietetic-nutritional services Environmental health Health care administration Holistic/naturopathic medicine Medical assistant Medical economics Medical records administration Medical technology Nursing Occupational therapy Optometry Osteopathic medicine Pathology Pharmacy/pharmacology Physical therapy Physician assistant Podiatry Public health Rehabilitation counseling Social work Speech and hearing therapy Veterinary medicine
