PRE-MED at PARK UNIVERSITY

Pre-Medicine is not a degree but is really a curriculum designed to best prepare students for their Medical College Admission Test or MCAT.  The curriculum focuses on biology, chemistry, biochemistry and into several other related areas of study in related sciences.  If a student lists what is required at a medical school before admission they will realize that Park University has already designed a B.S. in Biology with a Chemistry Minor or a B.S. in Chemistry with a Biology Minor that suits their needs. 

My goal was always to be a physician.  After graduating from Park, I entered medical school at McGill University in Montreal and am now doing a five-year residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Montreal.  My undergraduate education at Park has been invaluable.  Small classes allowed me to ask questions freely.  Careful supervision in the laboratory was precious to my future.  Taking classes outside my major helped me develop a broader understanding of other cultures that serves me in working with diverse patients....I am forever thankful to Park for my success.
