Courses to take
By senior year, chemistry majors should make sure all pre-medical requirements have been met if following the Health Professions recommended curriculum. Students should consult with their academic advisor about additional requirements for the chemistry major. The following recommended courses will also help ease students into the medical or dental school curriculum.
See Dr. Moldow for additional information about applying to health professional schools.
