Distance Medical Biochemistry is an on-line course offered by the University of New England and designed for students entering the health care professions. More than fifty medical schools now require or recommend biochemistry for entrance. Even at schools where biochemistry is not required, entering students feel that biochemistry gives them an advantage.
Distance Medical Biochemistry begins any day of the year and can be taken from anywhere in the world. You can find out more about this course on the web at http://distance.une.edu, or you can call Dr. Yonuschot at 207-602-2255.
This course and the University of New England are accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.

NRAI2001 said:Are the exams online or in person? I think i read inperson, but could they be done online?
Only take an online course if you MUST for whatever reason. Otherwise, take the class at your home school. As a rule of thumb, hard classes should all be taken at your home institution and not at an "easier" school. Adcoms know what you're doing by taking it at an "easy" school.NRAI2001 said:We dont really have premed advisors at my school. The few semi premed advisors we have (through the career center) dont have a very good reputation.
