Medical Musings on Monday

I'm very, very pleased to announce that every Monday here at Empowering People and Changing Lives will hold some medical musings. These will come in the form of updates regarding my journey to medical school, articles (written by me, of course!) related to certain issues within the medical field or specifically to the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation. Should there be any suggestions that you might have for these posts, please fill out one of the forms located on one of the resource tabs. When identifying your submission, please type "Medical Musings" in the field that says "Other."

To begin, I'd like to outline the requirements to get into Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

- One year of College Biology with Lab (8 semester hours)

- One year of General College Chemistry with Lab (8 semester hours)

- One year of Organic Chemistry with Lab (8 semester hours)
- Humanities, Behavioral, and Social Sciences (24 semester hours)

- One year of Mathematics (Calculus or Statistics) (6-8 semester hours)

- One year of College Physics with Lab (8 semester hours)


As you can see, I have my work cut out for me, but the nice thing about medical school admissions is that I'm already on my way to having the biggest chunk of requirements done, and then the math is halfway done for me.

I am going to look to see which requirements I can get out of the way this summer and then come back and take the labs in the fall.

Can't wait to begin my journey!

That will be awesome if you can do that! I was never able to take the class without the lab at the same time (ugh. that's what it was, ugh!)

Praying hard, and anxiously awaiting... You're gonna do great!

What is the difference between organic chemistry and general chemistry?

And what maths did you choose: calculus or statistics?

And hooray for the 24 hours of humanities, behavioural and social sciences. I assume you did those in special education and music therapy over your time in university.
