The journey to becoming a doctor is rigorous and demanding, and can start with a pre-med course. For students who are looking to pursue a medical degree, gaining a solid grasp on the foundational subjects of medicine is essential. Pre-med courses encompass various disciplines, which are crucial to the understanding of human biology and health. Subjects such as biology, chemistry, physics, and sometimes mathematics are covered in pre-medical courses.
A pre-med track equips students with the essential knowledge required for medical school, as well as allowing international students the opportunity to improve their language proficiency and meet any admission requirements for further study.
Pre-medical courses are typically delivered through lectures, lab sessions and seminars. Laboratory sessions are vital as they offer hands-on experience in conducting research and understanding medical phenomena. Some universities may also offer research opportunities or shadowing experiences, providing students a useful and insightful glimpse into the real-world medical environment and its challenges.
