Are you asking whether or not you could classify these as BCPM on your amcas? If so, the answer is probably.

If you're asking us which of these classes are easiest, it depends on what you're good at.

I had engineering classes with buzzwords like "Biology, Physiology, and Anatomy" and AMCAS was all about changing them to bio.

I'm not sure what they'd do in this case, but I have a feeling it would be something similar.

Which I can classify as BCPM...

All of them you say?

Technically they're all listed under Exercise Biology. Does AMCAS automatically choose what is BCPM? Or do I self-classify them?

*From another thread*

I suspect that AMCAS will reclassify them as "HEAL" (short for health) but there is no harm it trying to get the bump by listing them as bio.

This information clears up quite a bit... So I just list what I think is considered BCPM, and if AMCAS disagrees, they will fix it?

Just curious what engineering classes did you have that had physiology or anatomy in the title 😕 Even for bioengineering that seems strange

I wouldn't say too strange, especially in BME. Seems like you would have to know physiology when developing therapeutic tools for example.

Me: ENGI - Quantitative Physiology (to be fair, it is a biomedical engineering class)
AMCAS: BIOL - Quantitative Physiology

oh that was the only one.

I was just checking the others, and anything like Biotissues, Bioelectricity, Biomaterials, Biocivilengineering, all stayed engineering. I think if they see the complete word in the name of the course, they'll change it on you.

Those sound like some fun classes 😉 I'm going to have to take Bioelectricity and Biomaterials next year 😀

I had physiology for engineers. Lots of focus on the mechanics behind muscle/bone movements, for example. Fun class 🙂
