PREPROFESSIONAL PRE PARATIOK 59
semester units) with a C avcrag·e or better. A program which includes 38 semester
units of natural science distributed in biology (12 units), chemistry (18), and
physics (8), one year of English, including composition, and a reading knowledge
of a modem foreign language will qualify a student for most medical schools. The
applicant is usually required tc take the medical aptitude test and to present
evidence of physical fitness and moral character.
It is occasionally possible for a good student to complete all general requirements
for a bachelor's degree in three years of premedical study and be awarded
a bachelor's degree by Fresno State College upon the completion of the first year
of medicine in an accredited medical school. Due to competition for admission to
medical schools the majority of students find it necessary to complete the fouryear
program for the bachelor's degree and to achieve a grade average of better
than C.
Each student embarking on a premedical course at Fresno State College will b(
assigned to a member of the premedical advisory committee who will assist him
in planning his course and will maintain close contact with him during the first
year. During this period, screening tests are available to aid in ascertaining fields
in which the student possesses the greatest interest, achievement, and aptitude. By
the beginning of the sophomore year the student will be expected to select his
major, and will be assigned to an adviser qualified to guide him in his field of
concentration.
Although the premedical .requirements include a mininmm of 38 units of natural
science, it does not follow that the premedical student must load his program with
many additional units in the sciences. In fact, a student who has particular aptitude
and interest in the social sciences or humanities may well elect his major in one of
these fields, and still be able to meet the premedical requirements quite satisfactorily.
The medical schools continue to report that they do not expect entering students
to be finished technicians, but that they are more concerned with a good record in
the specific science requirements, evidence of a well-balanced liberal education, and
the ability to adapt to the rigid disciplines of medicine.
The college, through its premedical advisory committee, will make every effort
to guide the student through the premedical course successfully, and will endeaver
to assist those who have demonstrated suitability for the study of medicine to gain
admission to the medical school of their choice. The committee, when requested,
will submit its appraisal of each student to the medical schools to which the student
applies for admission.
