L41 BIOL 2651MedPrep I - The Lecture Series1.0 Unit
Description:MedPrep I (Bio 2651) is a unique, interactive lecture series where the entire educational path of becoming a physician is reviewed. This course is particularly helpful for first-year and sophomore students in helping them obtain an authentic, accurate, and comprehensive view of the life of a physician and the process it takes to get there. This course reviews what makes a competitive applicant for medical school and what it takes to be successful in the application process, medical school, residency, and beyond. It helps students develop a road map for their four years of college and encourages them to reflect on whether medicine is the right career for them. Students 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 and the future MedPrep III (Bio 2659), the service-learning course tentatively planned to launch in Spring 2024. There is no outside coursework and no exams, so this course can be taken with the busiest of course schedules. Class attendance is required. A $10 course fee applies. For more details about the course, please see the website at: http://medprep.wustl.edu/. Pass/Fail only.

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.
