Hi! I'm in Medicine and Society so I'll talk a little about it. Medicine and Society is a 4-year program that begins in your freshman year. If you wish to be a doctor or go into the health field, this is a GREAT program to get into. The first year consists of 2-semesters of seminar centering on issues and debates in cultural and medical anthropology. The program's founder, Dr. Stoner, is just a really amazing and fun guy who is eager to help his premed students succeed..
Sophomore or junior year you take on an internship at a health org site in St. Louis. The class is pretty tight knit as nearly everyone is premed, interested in getting a broader perspective on health care, and there are also planned events.
Keep in mind the program is mainly a medical anthropology program. A lot of ppl double major in anthropology and some other field and the MedSoc courses tend to be pretty laid-back.
They choose their class of 20 based on SATs, geography, potential for med school, and very importantly your essay. So write a good essay. I think 90 people applied my year. |
