Pre-Medicine
At the University of Hartford, you may prepare for admission into schools of medicine by
working toward either a bachelor of arts or sciences degree with a major in any department.
Most medical programs require a minimum of one year of undergraduate work in biology,
inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and physics. You are encouraged to consult the
catalogs of the schools of your choice to determine specific requirements and suggested
courses. You are also urged to contact a faculty member on the Premedical Professions
Advisory Committee as soon as possible after enrollment at the University of Hartford.
Participation in the University's Pre-Medical Advising Program is a great way for highly
motivated students to pursue the path to post-graduate medical education. The Premedical
Professions Advisory Committee will provide support and guidance to you in exploring your
career goals and gaining acceptance into the professional schools of your choice.
The committee offers three courses designed specifically to guide you along
your path to post-graduate medical education.
In Premedical Professions Studies I, you will examine the health care team and
the roles of various professions in health and disease. You will develop a working
understanding of the education requirements and work environment for various medical
professions.
In the second course of the series, you will develop plans for service learning or
research experiences that will be completed in a subsequent semester. The roles of
professional medical organizations in health care are examined along with a thorough
review of the requirements and timetables for professional school entrance.
In the third premedical professions studies course, you will plan your actual
application to medical school. You will determine your schools of interest and
their application processes, assess your abilities and areas of strength and weakness,
and start preparing for admission tests and pre-admission interviews.
