On Nonscience Premedical Education: Surprising Evidence and a Call for Clarification.

Niemi, Richard G.; Phillips, James E.

Journal of Medical Education, v55 n3 p194-200 Mar 1980

An analysis of the undergraduate transcripts of 465 students from the University of Rochester who applied to medical school indicates a surprising breadth in undergraduate training, which is inconsistent with critics' claims of narrowness in premedical education. Medical educators are called upon to further specify the desired role of nonscience courses in undergraduate preparation. (Author/JMD)
