futuredoc Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Does BIOL 2030 satisfy the biochemistry requirement for Canadian medical schools that ask for it? In addition, are you allowed to complete your social science subject in third year (if you are applying during third year)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc2B Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Hi futuredoc I don't know that much about pre-reqs for other schools as I am only applying to Dal right now. I didn't have pre-reqs for a lot schools so I didn't bother applying. I can't see how BIOL 2030 would meet the criteria for a biochemistry requirement though. BIOL 2030 is a genetics class (even though it is Genetics and Molecular Biology) it is pretty much mostly genetics. It may have changed since I took it in 2000 but probably not that much. Granted, I've never taken any Biochem so I don't really know what is involved in that. As for the social science I think you'd have to check with the schools that you're applying to. But I would imagine that any acceptance would just be conditional on you completing that course with an acceptable grade. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebowski Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 i ran into this problem with UBC this year as they require a full year of biochemistry. they do accept 2030, but they don't accept 2020 (cell bio). unfortunately they told me this after i applied, so i hope they did something worthwhile with my 180 bucks. hope that helps. i'm not sure what other schools require biochem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futuredoc Posted March 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 I believe that a large proportion of western schools require biochemistry. I am thinking of taking BIOC 2101 (Introduction to biochemistry?) in third year to satisfy the other half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggamac70 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 U of Ottawa offers info on what will satisfy its prereq'a here: http://www.intermed.med.uottawa.ca/Students/MD/admissions/Legacy/eng/AdmissionPolicy.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebowski Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 i'm pretty sure that those two courses wouldn't satisfy the biochemistry requirement... i took nature conservation - we watched movies, talked about different societies' approach to nature/agricultural, and had an art project. definitely no biochemistry going on in that class.
