Oh ya, forgot about the jesuit schools.

Christian, yet distinctly Catholic in their aroma...

Loyola University Chicago (Jesuit/Catholic)
Baylor (Methodist?)

Hey thanx for the help guys, do those school accept chrisitans/catholic only? and are they generally harder to get in than other non-religious based school?

 

[IllinoisStudent]

Nope. They accept everyone (as far as I know). Although, they make u take religious (They call it theology) classes. Getting in religious school has nothing to do w/ them being religious. Its the curriculum and reputation. For example, it is hard to get into Baylor, relatively easier to get into Loyola.

please define "christian based med school."

baylor does not make you take theology courses (there is no theology department!). emory is also tied to united methodist denomination.

For the record, Baylor Med is a completely separate institution from Baylor U, and thus lacks the intense Baptist flavor of the latter.

Georgetown is Jesuit, though not particularly strict in adherence (sp?).

Loma Linda is the only school that is the type you are looking for. They make their students sign a contract saying that they won't drink or have pre-maritral fornication or they will kick you out. They also have told some people to cut their hair because it is to long.

Was'nt there an Oral Roberts University - College of Medicine?

Negative on Baylor, its completely seperate from its weird undergrad namesake.

Id say Loma Linda, Loyola come to mind.

I think Georgetown is pretty seperate from its religious roots nowadays too.

Does BYU have a med school?

i think gtown is as in touch w/ their roots as any of the other catholic schools are. for the most part they're all quite secular.

When you say Loyola requires theology classes, are you talking about the Med School or the undergraduate school? I know this is a fact at the undergraduate level (but that does NOT mean you have to take 'catholic' courses). I'd be surprised if it was at the med school though.

I would say that you will see most of the 'religion' in the catholic med schools come out more in thier focus on service than in their focus on practicing religion.

Loma Linda asks about alcohol use on their secondary application, such as "have you EVER consumed it" and "have you drank in the last year", etc. I decided not to send that one in.

I believe that Loma Linda gives preferences to members of their own church.

Has anyone here gone there? I'm curious if you think the attitude may affect the education.

 

[Fermata]

Sorry. The only MD schools are pagan schools. W00t w00t.

 

[Prozach]

New York Medical College is a Catholic Institution. 🙂

 

[Asclepius]

Sorry. The only MD schools are pagan schools. W00t w00t.

Pagan? What do mean? They dance around may poles, have orgies on the Winter Solstace, worship holly sprigs, and conduct rituals over pentagrams painted with menstrual blood?

All of the above. Such are the "healing arts".

[Geronimo]

There is an osteopathic school in Pikeville, KY that has methodist leanings. Don't know much about it, sorry.

 

[HollyJ]

Baylor University is heavily Baptist. Baylor College of Medicine is not affiliated with Baylor University, and is not religiously affiliated.

Ah, I see...a sort of Hogwartsesque style of medical education? I like it...

I wouldn't worry too much about it if you're a Christian. A vast number of hospitals around the country were founded by Christian groups. From Hoag Hospital (Presbyterian) in Newport Beach, CA, and Sacred Heart in Spokane to Baptist in Winston Salem and a host of other schools across the country.

Religion has always been at the forefront of medical advancement and has played a role in healing from time imemorium. It goes hand in hand with medicine's emphasis on service.

Whatever the "official" nature of the school, there are going to be others who have similar views. It's the nature of the field.
