Entrance into health professional career fields requires that
students complete a bachelor's degree, which includes coursework
in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, English and literature.
Most medical schools want a student who has taken a well-rounded
curriculum that also includes English, humanities and social sciences.
Participation in hands-on research gives you an extra competitive
