Undergraduate
Pre-Medicine
Simpson College is the best place to prepare yourself for medical school.
Pre-Medicine
Pre-medical and pre-dental students can best prepare for medical school by completing either a biology major or a biochemistry major. Students interested in pre-medicine should contact specific graduate schools for general information and admission requirements.
Working with your academic advisor is very important when considering a pre-med program. Faculty from across campus will assist in your planning by identifying required and recommended coursework and sponsoring undergraduate research and internships.
Once on this path, you will earn a Bachelor’s degree with a major or double major in biology, biochemistry, neuroscience, health and exercise science, or health services leadership before moving on to medical school.
Recent Simpson grads have pursued medical degrees or MD/PhD’s at the University of Iowa, Des Moines University, AT Still University, Creighton, Georgetown, Northwestern, University of Missouri-Columbia, and University of Missouri-Kansas City, among others.
