The committeeinterviews candidates forprofessional school and supplies acommittee letter of recommendationto the applicants’ prospectiveschool. This procedure enhances thestudents’ application prospects.Summary of Requirements for Medical, Dental, Optometry &Veterinary Medicine Pre-Health Professions Program1. Students intending to enter health professions schools should plan their academic programs carefully to meet pre-professional,university and major requirements.2. Pre-health professions students should continually examine the catalog of the institution they plan to attend in order to completecourses required by the professional school and to fulfill additional entrance expectations. Students should bear in mind thatrequirements change and they should maintain contact with any professional schools they want to attend.3. A science major is not a prerequisite for medical school; therefore, a major should be selected in which the student has a highaptitude and interest and which provides career alternatives. A proper course selection is most important; consequently, we highlyrecommend early consultation with the chair of the department of your selected major, who will assign you to a pre-health professions advisor.4. Though students may choose any major, most pre-health professions students at FSU select biology or chemistry as majors. The PreHealth Professions Option outlined in the Biology section of this catalog should be selected by students majoring in Biology. Chemistry students planning medical school and other pre-health professional programs complete either the Biochemistry concentration orTraditional Track outlined for the Chemistry major. Students opting to minor in either department are advised to use sections 5 and6 below as a guide to course selection.5. Professional schools generally require a demonstrated proficiency in the basic sciences. The following courses are among theminimum requirements for students planning to prepare for medical, dental, optometry or veterinary school.BIOL 149 and 160CHEM 201 and 202CHEM 311/312 and 321/322PHYS 215, 216 or 261, 262MATH — 2 coursesGeneral Biology I and Intro to ZoologyGeneral Chemistry I and IIOrganic Chemistry I and IIGeneral Physics I, II or Principles of Physics I, II*See options in #68 cr.8 cr.8 cr.8 cr.6 cr.6.
