Non-Science Major Question
Hello!
I am currently pursuing a double major with one being Biochemistry and the other being a humanities major. In order to fit everything, I pretty much used AP credits for the basic science course (calc,bio,chem,phys). I have taken organic, first semester of biochem, lab courses, statistics, and plan to take classes like astronomy, cell biology, neuroscience, and possibly genetics by the time I apply. Upon conducting research on this matter, I have found that medical schools want a...

Class advice needed :)
Hello all,
I'm trying to register for the Fall semester and would like to get some advice from you guys!
I've taken pretty much all the prerequisites, and the remaining classes I'm interested in are:
Neuropsychopharmacology vs. Pharmacology
Molecular Toxicology
Parasitology
Other than pure science classes like Anatomy, Pathology, etc..., I'm not sure if these classes are offered in med school or related to Medicine at all.
Also, I'm interested in both Neuropsychopharmacology and...

Already took pre-med classes 20 years ago
I’m a non-traditional 39 y/o planning to apply around 2 years from now. As a neuroscience major, I took all the premed courses besides Biochem and Physics II but about halfway through decided I didn't want to apply to medical schools. I went to a top 5 liberal arts college, but my 3.3 GPA (both sci and total) wasn’t exceptional. Pre-med classes ranged from one B- (G-Chem II) to a few B+. Upper division science classes were a little better, although I only got 2 solid A’s, and sadly only a B+...

What are my options in terms of getting into an MD program in the US?
So this is a very specific post but any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
I am non-traditional applicant. I graduated from college as a Neurobiology major a few years ago after which I did a 2-year program called Teach For America. Through it I taught science to 7th and 8th graders and gained a lot of leadership experience. Unfortunately it was a very stressful environment to work in with limited resources and being a first year teacher I was juggling a lot of things. The state where I...

Course classification question: Traditional BCPM courses listed under Health Science
Hello,
I just graduated from OT school. Two classes that I took in OT school included neuroscience and neuroscience of behavior. These courses were listed under occupational therapy, but I know that traditionally, they could be classified under BCPM. When I'm filling out the course classification guide, could I change these to biology? I'm just unsure because this wasn't a post-bacc, and it was an actual program. thanks!

Neuroimaging Research Position Opportunities
I have a BS in cognitive science and previous experience as a research assistant in a neuroimaging lab and really enjoyed that area of research (functional connectivity, default network, DTI, fMRI analysis in SPM, etc.). I want to advance my career but don't think a PhD is the best fit for me. Is there a way I can continue this work at a higher-level? I worry that there's either work for entry-level RAs only a few years out of college, graduate students working on their PhD degree, or...

Most useful masters degree.
So if you were to do an extra program to get a master or some other degree what do you think would be the most helpful to your practice. For example, MPH, MBA, computer science, chemical engineering, biochem etc. (Source: Student Doctor Network)
