L41 BIOL 2651MedPrep I - The Lecture Series1.0 Unit
Description:MedPrep I (Bio 2651) is a unique, interactive lecture series taught by the central subcommittee chair on the Washington University School of Medicine admissions committee. Through a weekly 2-hour lecture, this course gives students accurate, honest, and detailed information on how to be become a competitive applicant to medical school. This course is particularly useful for first year students, and sophomores. It dives deep into the preparation required to develop a successful medical school application. For this reason, the course instructor recommends that students take this course prior to their junior year. It reviews common pitfalls encountered by unsuccessful applicants and outlines every step of the application and admissions process. Students receive a comprehensive overview of the entire educational path in medicine, including medical school and residency, and the rewards and challenges of a career in medicine. Students learn about how to get involved in undergraduate research as well as the activities they might consider for the summer. They also have the opportunity to talk with current medical students and resident physicians about their life in medical school and residency, respectively. MedPrep I is a prerequisite for MedPrep II (Bio 2654), the shadowing course that takes place in the Charles F. Knight Emergency and Trauma Center of Barnes-Jewish Hospital, the main teaching hospital for the Washington University School of Medicine. Because there is no outside coursework or exams, this course can be taken with the busiest of class schedules. For this reason though, attendance at ALL classes is required. A $10 course fee applies.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
