• BIOL 321: Foundations of Medicine

  3.00 Credits

  Lander University

  
  BIOL 321.FOUNDATIONS OF MEDICINE This course reviews and helps the student organize the foundational concepts needed to enter medical school. 1. Knowledge of scientific concepts and principles. 2. Scientific reasoning and problem solving. 3. Reasoning about the design and execution of research. 4. Data-based and statistical reasoning. Students will be required to take two practice MCAT exams, one near the beginning of the course and one near the end of the course, to evaluate their understanding of the foundational concepts. Because these exams range from six to eight hours, these will generally be scheduled on a Saturday or Sunday. Prerequisites: C or better in CHEM 221 and PHYS 201 and instructor permission. Three credit hours. Prerequisite:    ( CHEM 221 and( PHYS 201
