FAQs
A pre-medical program is a course of study designed to prepare students for admission to medical school by providing the necessary foundational knowledge in sciences and healthcare.
Pre-med programs commonly include coursework in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and other related sciences, along with classes in English, psychology, and humanities.
Admission requirements typically include a high school diploma or equivalent, satisfactory grades in prerequisite courses, and sometimes standardized test scores like the SAT or ACT.
Graduates of pre-med programs often pursue further education in medical school or other healthcare-related fields, such as nursing, dentistry, pharmacy, or biomedical research.
No, premed is not the same as MBBS. Premed refers to the undergraduate coursework and preparation required to apply for medical school, while MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) is a specific medical degree awarded upon completion of medical school.
