An article today in the New England Journal of Medicine by Jules N. Dienstag, MD, evaluates the current premedical requirements. These requirements have not changed for decades and the necessity of these courses is being questioned. Do the physics, chemistry, biology and organic chemistry courses that premedical students take help them care for real life patients? The author suggests a more "focused" premedical curriculum with an emphasis on biologically relevant material and more rigorous cross-disciplinary science courses. The Association of American Medical Colleges and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute are jointly assessing the premedical curriculum. If these requirements change, the MCAT will also need revision.

"When I started working with Dr. Freedman, it was the first time that I felt I really had a partner in the process - someone in my corner who could bring some order to the chaos. For anyone who is serious about applying to medical school, given how competitive it has gotten recently, I can't overemphasize that this help will be more than worth it! [In a follow up message] I will matriculate at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Thank you!!! - MedEdits Medical School Client

MedEdits Client Testimonials
"I did several mock interviews with the career center at my college and other advisors, but the phone interview I did with you was the best preparation I could have expected. On my interview day, I felt entirely confident and had no doubt that I was prepared to present myself as the perfect fit for Pittsburgh. I am recommending you to everyone I talk to and will undoubtedly be contacting you again when I begin applying for residency." - MedEdits Medical School Client who will matriculate at The University of Pittsburgh Medical School.
