Medical Biology - Pre-Physician Track
The pre-physician assistant track is designed for students who wish to eventually enroll in a physician assistant program. This track provides students with a solid foundation in the biological sciences at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, and organismal levels. In addition to the comprehensive introduction to general biology, the courses offered in this track introduce the student to the fields of physiology, biochemistry, cellular biology, and genetics. This track includes those courses that are prerequisite courses for entrance into physician assistant schools. In addition, students in this track have the opportunity to complete off-campus internships for college credit (e.g. in a hospital, clinical, or laboratory setting).
3-2 Option of Medical Biology-Pre-Physician Assistant Track - An accelerated version of this track, called the “3-2 Option” of medical biology-pre-physician assistant track, offers selected students the opportunity to enroll in the University of New England’s Master’s-level Physician Assistant program one year early (i.e. after their third undergraduate year).
