Would this course be included in the BCPM gpa?

 

[Purna]

No. My university offered epi through the School of Public Health so I counted it as a health class. Plus, epi really doesn't incorporate enough "math" imo to be included compared to a real math class. If you took biostats, then I would include that.

Nah, its more of a social science.

depends on what grade you got...

 

[DrCurious]

It does count as science for DO schools, doubt it does for MD

I think it depends what its under. There is an Epidemiology class under the Biology department here.

It all depends on the content of the course I suppose. The epi. course they offered at my school was listed as an honors level sr. year bio class cross listed also as a 400 level math class.

i think it depends on amcas. public health isn't quite the same as epidemiology (which is less applied, more analytic). but even if epidemiology shouldn't be considered a "health science" like public health is (see below, from amcas), then it is probably most appropriately classified as a "social science." in either case, it will not count toward the BCPM GPA.
