Premedical Advising
The IIT PreMedical Advisory Committee
provides assistance to premedical students.
Committee members will monitor your academic progress and provide
information about volunteer and research opportunities. The committee
will also write letters of recommendation and answer strategic
questions about the medical school application process.
Curriculum
All students entering medical school need to have an understanding
of the principles of the sciences basic to medicine. In particular,
students will need an in-depth background in biology, chemistry
and physics—which are all essential to the study and practice
of medicine. A firm grasp of the English language is also essential.
To achieve a minimum level of understanding in these disciplines,
ALL students pursuing a minor in premedicine must take the following courses as part of (or
in addition to) their major program of study. Students who complete
these courses will earn a Premedical Studies Minor upon graduation.
Students majoring in biology, molecular biochemistry and biophysics
automatically satisfy all premedical studies minor course requirements.
