Pre-Med Track

A Pre-Med Track Focused on Your Career

We have a dedicated faculty advisor who works closely with our students who have chosen a pre-med track. We:

• Discover the goals of the student
• Prepare students appropriately, including suggestions to enhance their medical school application with research internships
• Tailor the student's coursework and internships to meet the requirements of the student's targeted medical school
• Provide assistance preparing for MCAT (Medical College Admission Test) or PCAT (Pharmacy College Admission Test) and GRE (Graduate Record Examination.)
• Encourage their success, through a highly accessible faculty, a dedicated program advisor, and a supportive atmosphere

A Supportive Environment

We appreciate that pre-med students are often high achievers, however many potential students fear a highly competitive atmosphere. At Chaminade, the courses are challenging but students get a lot of support from faculty and peers. One student who transferred to our program described the contrast with her old school in this way: "At my old school ... it's a competitive atmosphere, everybody is working for themselves. At Chaminade, it's not like that. It's more of a team, everybody helps everybody out. The labs are really nice, very clean, you feel like it's very healthy, no carcinogens. I feel like a professional here."

Our faculty is very accessible: "I really like it that my lab prof is the same as my classroom prof. At my old school I had two different professors for the lab and the class. And, if I need help, I can contact my professor whenever, it's no problem."
