The only schools in WNY who have medical schools are UB and the U of R. Anytime a school mentions a “pre-Med” program, it’s a hoot. There is no “pre-Med” program - anywhere. Medical schools in the US all have their own prerequisites with respect to courses of study. Generally it includes a mix of courses in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and labs. Calculus is usually included as well as various other courses such as English (who would have thought). The prerequisites vary from med school to med school.
When a journalist writes about anyone who was majoring in “pre-Med” only to abandon that study to pursue a position in pro sports, Hollywood, social work...you name it, he is simply attempting to suggest that their subject is cerebral.
Not to disparage St Bona, but it has no med program. Nor do Colgate, Williams, or any college.
One last thing. When anyone graduates from a medical school, he is a doctor. The road to practicing medicine, however, has merely begun. There are more hoops to jump before a doctor can practice medicine. Internship, Residency, Fellowship...it’s a long arduous road. When Obama calls the doctors greedy, I want to stick a finger down my throat.
