Embarking on the Premedical Journey

We won’t always know whose lives we touched and made better for our having cared, because actions can sometimes have unforeseen ramifications. What’s important is that you do care and you act.” –Charlotte Lunsford There are many ways to serve humanity and live a purposeful life. However, caring for the physical and emotional needs of others is one of the most selfless and honored traditions. Few careers require as much intellectual rigor and personal sacrifice as the practice of medicine. At the same time, securing a place in one of the schools of medicine has never been more difficult to achieve. Therefore, today’s applications must demonstrate, in addition to the excellent academic credentials, a set of experiences demonstrating strong interpersonal qualities, community engagement (local or international), knowledge of the proposed field of study, and the skills and knowledge that prepare one for effective practice in 21st-century medicine.

Admissions committees will consider three questions when evaluating each applicant:

1. Can this person complete medical school? They will evaluate the overall GPA, the science GPA, and the entrance test scores.

2. Does this person know what he or she is getting into? Experience and knowledge of the field are essential. 3. Is this an interesting person? Accomplishments in different areas help here. Success in any subject is valued.

Do keep these questions in mind. In addition, take responsibility for learning about your field of interest and take time for careful self-examination to determine which medical credential will enable you to best realize your talents and potential. With this mind, take advantage of all that Middlebury has to offer. For example, the Career Services Office offers career assessment tools, such as the Myers Briggs Personality Test, and professional services such as mock interviews. Also, the Health Professions Office has valuable resources, including literature on the health professions and professional advising.

Please note, too, that there will be an important informational meeting for first- and second-year students pursuing the health professions on Tuesday, October 7, 2014: 6:30 PM in Bicentennial Hall, Room 104. First-year students and sophomores are also encouraged to look ahead in this handbook to the sections on applying to professional school, so that they have an idea of what the process entails.

Finally, all students are invited to stop by the Health Professions Office to talk with the Health Professions Advisor or to peruse the literature on hand. Fifteen-minute appointment hours during Fall term are scheduled for Friday mornings from 10:00 AM to noon; half-hour appointments are offered Monday and Thursday afternoons from 2:00-4:00 PM.

I look forward to getting to know our new premedical students and developing deeper ties with prospective applicants.

Outline of Course Requirements for the Health Professions

1. Campus Personnel - Personnel who can assist premedical students throughout the undergraduate years at Middlebury is found on page 7 of this handbook. Contact the Health Professions office for assistance.

2. Major - Premedical students should choose a major that is of genuine interest. It is not necessary to pursue a science major.

3. Course Requirements for Health Professions - Also see the section titled ADVISING RESOURCES FOR FUTURE PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL CANDIDATES beginning on page 8.

The following courses serve as basic requirements for all health professions students. After completing these requirements, students should be prepared for most allopathic and osteopathic medical schools, but it is always good to check requirements at particular schools. Additional or alternative courses are required for pre-vet and pre-dental students and those considering nursing, physical therapy, and related fields. Pre-medical Requirements

Academic Requirements: Medical School applicants will be expected to “demonstrate aptitude in biological and physical sciences during the undergraduate years, but not to the exclusion of the humanities and social sciences.” Students aspiring to careers in health professions are not required to major in science. The following list of courses is currently recommended; however, medical school admissions requirements are under review.

BIOL 0140 Ecology and Evolution BIOL 0145 Genetics and Cell Biology (the 2 bio courses should be taken by end of soph. year)* Advanced Biology Course CHEM 0103, 0104 Fundamentals of Chemistry I & II or CHEM 0107 Advanced Introductory

Chemistry (try to take first year) CHEM 0241, 0242 Organic Chemistry I & II As of 2014/15:

CHEM 0203 Organic Structure and Reactivity CHEM 0204 Organic Synthesis and Spectroscopy

PREMEDS: CHEM 0203 Organic Structure and Reactivity and CHEM 0322 Biochemistry of Macromolecules

Note: chemistry and some other majors will continue to take two semesters of organic chemistry

MATH 0121, 0122 Calculus I & II (required for physics I & II at Middlebury) Otherwise: Calculus I and Statistics for most schools; some schools will require only statistics

PHYS 0109 Newtonian Physics PHYS 0110 Electricity and Magnetism

Optics is encouraged PSYC 0105 Introduction to Psychology

One year of English (The College Writing requirement will fulfill this prerequisite for most schools.) Language Study: optional, but encouraged Other courses to consider: Comparative Anatomy, Microbiology, Molecular Genetics, Sociology, Ethics

4

* Students who do not take BIOL 0140 by sophomore year (as is noted in the catalogue) will have to wait to take it during the spring semester. Juniors who encounter a registration block will be waived in next spring. Pre-Dental and Pre-Veterinary Requirements

Academic Requirements: Students aspiring to careers in health professions are not required to major in science. Those wishing to attend a professional school must complete the following courses.

BIOL 0140 Ecology and Evolution BIOL 0145 Genetics and Cell Biology BIOL 0310 Microbiology (required by approx. 21 veterinary schools & several dental schools) CHEM 0103, 0104 Fundamentals of Chemistry I & II (try to take first year) CHEM 0203 Organic Structure and Reactivity CHEM 0204 Organic Synthesis and Spectroscopy CHEM 0322 Biochemistry (required for veterinary schools & many dental schools) MATH 0121, 0122 Calculus I & II (required for physics I & II at Middlebury and a few dental and vet schools) STATISTICS (required for veterinary schools, Texas dental and a couple of other dental schools) PHYS 0109 Newtonian Physics PHYS 0110 Electricity and Magnetism

One year of English (The College Writing requirement will fulfill this prerequisite for most schools. In some instances, a course designated as English is requested.)

Recommended: Psychology (strongly recommended and required by a few dental schools)

For all Health Professions Students Please Note: a. Advanced Placement credits are often accepted in fulfillment of pre-health requirements, but this

is not the policy of every health professions school. b. Because requirements vary from school to school, potential applicants are advised to review

admissions requirements of various schools early in their undergraduate careers. The following references should be consulted:

There were general meetings to introduce new students to the premedical programs in October and February. The next meeting will be held: Tuesday, October 7, 2014: 6:30 PM in Bicentennial Hall, Room 104

Students are encouraged to meet with the Health Professions Advisor by the sophomore year.

Arlinda A. Wickland, Health Professions Advisor Co-Chair of the Health Professions Committee Center for Education in Action Ext. 2455; Office: Adirondack House 102

Roger Sandwick, Associate Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry Co-Chair of the Health Professions Committee Extension 3496; Office: MBH 451

4. Other Educational Considerations

a. Advanced Placement (AP) Credits - Medical schools have different policies regarding AP credits. Plan to take advanced courses to reinforce commitment and proficiencies, and to be sure to meet medical schools’ minimum requirements in a subject.

b. Independent Study - All departments provide opportunities for independent work in the major. Research is viewed quite favorably, but is not required for admission to medical school.

c. Summer Courses - Candidates may take premedical courses during the summer with discretion. If done too often, however, it may be viewed as “avoiding difficult science courses” at Middlebury.

d. Extracurricular and Summer Activities - Activities above and beyond the classroom demonstrate specific interests and skills. These should not be viewed as requirements, but rather as opportunities to expand oneself and one’s college education. Get involved in interesting activities without regard to how it looks on a résumé.

e. Clinical Experience: Paid or Volunteer - Work or volunteer in a medically related area. These experiences will help candidates determine whether medicine is an appropriate career, and are also highly valued by medical schools. Consider doing a winter-term internship, either in the Middlebury area or elsewhere, during the sophomore or junior year. The Center for Careers & Internships has pertinent details; deadlines are in October. Two popular J-term internships are at Porter Hospital and with the Brandon Volunteer Fire Department (an EMT-B course). CCI handles the applications: see their website at http://www.middlebury.edu/studentlife/cci/internships/winter. Many Middlebury students volunteer with Vermont Office of EMS and Injury Prevention. Their website, with information for EMT certification, is: http://healthvermont.gov/hc/ems/ems_index.aspx. Also, to learn about volunteer opportunities during regular semesters at Porter Hospital in Middlebury, see http://www.portermedical.org/volunteer_.html

5. Group Meeting with Health Professions Advisor - It is important that students pursuing health professions attend these meetings. Course requirements, application procedures, and professional school programs change frequently; we will announce changes at these meetings. One such meeting for first-year students (or sophomores just beginning the process) occurs in early October: For Fall 2014, it will be Tuesday, October 7, 2014: 6:30 PM in Bicentennial Hall, Room 104. Check the

6

website and/or the Events Calendar for information. In addition, students will have the opportunity to meet with doctors and other professionals, to attend seminars, and to discuss current issues in the health professions with peers.

6. Special Programs - There exist special admissions opportunities at some medical schools. Please see the section on special programs on page 10.

7. Applications and Exams - Some students complete the MCAT, DAT, or GRE exams by the end of

the junior year, but candidates should plan to take admissions tests when they are best prepared to do so. The internal application process begins a year before the formal application to professional schools. Details of this process are presented in the section INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLYING TO PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS, beginning in the Health Professions Handbook, Part II, page 2.

8. Biographical Report - Candidates are asked to provide the Health Professions Committee with

information about their accomplishments in a Biographical Report. This data is given to the Health Professions office for each applicant’s file.

9. Health-Related Occupations - While many students think they know which career they wish to

pursue, it is a good idea to remain open-minded. A list of occupations is given on pages 18-20. The Health Professions office maintains a collection of catalogues, guides, and literature on health careers that students are free to peruse. This library is currently located in the Adirondack House, Room 203.

Changes to the Organic Chemistry Curriculum (as of 2/19/14)

In response to a number of curricular changes—both long term enrollment trends, the evolving interdisciplinary nature of chemistry, and the proximate change to the MCAT and Medical School Admissions requirements coming in 2015—the department of Chemistry & Biochemistry is making the following changes to its curriculum starting in the 2014-15 academic year. Nothing will change for the 2013-14 academic year.

9

CHEM 0241 and CHEM 0242 (“Organic Chemistry I & II”) are being replaced by two new courses: CHEM 0203 (“Organic Structure and Reactivity”) and CHEM 0204 (“Organic Synthesis and Spectroscopy”). CHEM 0203 will be taught in multiple, smaller sections BOTH fall and spring semesters. We anticipate three sections in the fall and one section in the spring. We will not offer Organic Chemistry over WT any longer (WT 2014 will be last time). CHEM 0204 will also be taught both fall (starting fall 2015) and spring semesters in one or two smaller, sections as enrollments dictate. CHEM 0322 (“Biochemistry of Macromolecules”), which will become a required health professions course, will now require only CHEM 0203 as a prerequisite (or CHEM 0242 for current students). CHEM 0322 will be taught in multiple, smaller sections BOTH fall and spring semesters. We anticipate two sections in the fall and one section in the spring. Thus, the standard “premed” sequence in the Chemistry & Biochemistry Department will become: CHEM 0103 CHEM 0104 or CHEM 0107 CHEM 0203 CHEM 0322

Advising Resources for Future Professional School Candidates

PREMEDICAL | PREDENTAL | PREVETERINARY Major Requirement: No specific major is required.

Course Requirements: one year of biology, with laboratories; two years of chemistry (2 courses of inorganic and 2 courses of organic), with laboratories; one year of physics, with laboratories; usually one year of mathematics (calculus and statistics); and one year of English or equivalent.

Pre-vet students must also complete a course in statistics and one in biochemistry; some schools have specific biology course requirements. Pre-dental students should determine whether or not biochemistry and psychology are required at the schools of their choice.

References: MEDICAL SCHOOL ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS (MSAR) ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS OF AMERICAN DENTAL SCHOOLS VETERINARY MEDICAL SCHOOL ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS.

For information on acquiring these references, see Health Professions Handbook, Part II, page 5.

PRE-NURSING Major Requirement: No specific major is required.

Course Requirements: The courses required for admission to a nursing program vary considerably from school to school; thus, it is advisable to research the requirements of schools early during the undergraduate studies. Normally a strong background in biology is needed (a minimum of 4 courses). In addition, candidates should have at least one course in basic chemistry and should consider taking at least one term of

10

organic chemistry; at least one term of physics would be helpful. Further, many nursing schools look for courses in nutrition, anatomy, the social/behavioral sciences, the humanities, and statistics.

PHYSICAL THERAPY Major Requirements: No specific major is required. Course Requirements: Many of the requirements for physical therapy programs are similar to premedical requirements. Most schools require a strong background in biology, some basic chemistry, physics, and math, as well as courses in psychology, and lots of experience in Physical Therapy.

Special [Sophomore] Application Programs

Early Assurance Premedical Programs

Exceptionally well-qualified students may be considered for special early-admissions programs during the sophomore year. Candidates for early assurance should be absolutely sure they want to pursue a career in medicine, should be sure of the medical school they wish to attend, and must demonstrate clearly how the program will benefit them in a significant way. See the pre-medical advisor for more details.

Albany Medical School Geisel Dartmouth Early Assurance Program Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai FlexMed Early Acceptance Program SUNY Buffalo SUNY Upstate University of Connecticut

2014-2015 Middlebury College Pre-Medical Society

Pre-Medical Society: The Pre-Medical Society is committed to creating a sense of community among premedical students and to increasing awareness about the current issues facing the field of medicine. In order to accomplish these goals, the Pre-Medical Society provides a mentoring program between upper-class and under-class premedical students, invites guest lecturers to speak, hosts social functions, and takes tours of medical schools in the Northeast. Additionally, the Pre-Medical Society helps guide premedical students through the process by providing advice for finding internships and volunteer opportunities, as well as for applying to medical school.

In 2006, the society organized and hosted the first Northeastern Intercollegiate Pre-Medical Professions Colloquium, on the subject “Contemplating our Future in Medicine: Learning, Teaching and Practicing Medicine in the 21st Century.”
