I believe there is a 150 (? m2ck would know more about this) hour requirement for working in some capacity in the healthcare industry prior to med school.

<p>No, there is no req’t at all. There is an expectation that students “do something”…shadow doctors, volunteer, research, etc. But there is no req’t. </p>
