Other courses
are often recommended for students interested in physical therapy,
veterinary medicine, or physician assistant programs, some of the
other health care professions Elmira College students often choose
to pursue. Some Mathematics, often calculus or statistics, is
recommended. Courses in psychology, ethics, humanities or social
sciences are often suggested. Fulfilling a broad-based liberal-arts
education through the Elmira College distribution requirements
normally satisfies the entrance recommendations.
At a monthly pizza
lunch speaker series, information about the various health
professions, applications to professional schools, summer research,
and other relevant topics are discussed. The Pre-Health Club is
another resource for information. Shadowing opportunities,
internships, and surgery observations have been sponsored
activities by active members of this club.
Elmira College participates in an Early Assurance program where
highly qualified students may apply to medical school late in their
sophomore year. If accepted, the student would finish his or her
academic career at Elmira College without the pressures of the
application process. Also, an agreement with Upstate Medical Center
provides the opportunity for two, selected Elmira College students
with a combined SAT score of 1200 and a grade of A or A- in the
first year chemistry AND biology courses to apply for early
acceptance.
