BSHS in Health Sciences: Pre-Medicine

The University of Cincinnati offers a Pre-Medicine track within the Health Sciences major that specifically prepares you for entry into graduate level medicine, pharmacy, chiropractic, podiatry, dental, and optometry programs.Unlike other pre-med options, the Health Sciences track option gives you a hands on undergraduate experience where you can gain direct patient care experiences through service learning and research opportunities in some of the top health care facilities, learn alongside other allied health professions, and develop a strong foundational understanding of the human body through active labs.The curriculum both meets and exceeds undergraduate prerequisite requirements for medical school to ensure you are prepared for the rigor of any future professional program. A comprehensive background in the basic sciences combined with applied studies in exercise physiology, biomechanics and kinesiology, biochemistry, cell biology and microbiology puts you in an excellent position to be a competitive candidate.

First-year applicants (sometimes referred to as freshman) are students who have completed high school and have not earned college course credit since graduating.
