Preparation for a Career in Medicine
Introduction | Business | Education | Law | Medicine | Clincal Psych/Counseling/Social Work
Psychology is highly recommended as a major for premedical students interested in psychiatry or neurology and is a valuable major for any premedical student who plans to practice medicine. What specific psychology courses are best for premedical students? This is a complex question. While courses in physiological psychology may seem most relevant, courses in other areas such as cognitive processes and abnormal psychology provide information of enormous practical value for the future physician. The intended area of medical specialization will also influence the choice of courses. For example, a future pediatrician would benefit particularly from courses in developmental psychology. Courses in research methods as well as independent research through the Senior Honors Program also provide valuable training for students heading for medical school.
