Homemade Pre-Med program

Let's all agree too that it varies by program.

The physics sequence at HES, for instance, omits thermodynamics and quantum mechanics "because," from my notes from the professor's explanation, "General Chemistry teaches that for the MCAT here." Meanwhile fluid statics and fluid dynamics are "covered more here than in physics' majors intro. [sequence]" because of their high relevance to medicine.

The physics textbook, by Nobel laureate Giambattista et al., includes licensed questions from past MCATs. Rubbing it in, the publisher festoons MCAT and American Association of Medical Colleges logos very centrally on the cover. At least one Teaching Fellow (TA) bases review sessions on The MCAT Physics Book, a well-regarded third-party study guide.

I would not say that HES teaches "to" the MCAT. They do teach to their students, they know very many are going on to the MCAT or other paths to health careers, and they work with this.

Of course, and "I" wasn't going to say it, but clearly not all schools are created equal. I think everyone should go to HES for the prehealth program lol.
I'm not sure how I got sucked in to arguing FOR someone to learn their sciences before they go into the SCIENTIFIC FIELD of medicine, but seriously, if that isn't self-evident, then....I got nothing. banghead
