This roadmap emphasizes NSE and its important contributions to medicine, as well as preparing a student for entry to medical school (MCAT). Note that this is accomplished with little to no increase in course load by using the five electives in Course 22 for Premed courses. (N.B. In addition to the Premed Recommended Course list, applicants should also review the Medical School Admissions Requirement guide (MSAR) and/or the individual medical schools web sites to be sure they are taking all necessary prerequisites for the schools they are applying to.)
UROPs among NST faculty and at MGH are strongly encouraged.
