Can I qualify this course as a BCPM? It was in the Biological Basis of Behavior course listing, and had significant biology. Insight greatly appreciated:

Neurodegenerative Disorders BIBB 475
Prerequisite(s): Successful completion of an introductory neuroscience course
This course will familiarize students with advances in our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases and current hypotheses about the mechanisms underlying neural dysfunction. Major classes of neurodegenerative diseases and disease processes including Alzheimer’s and β-amyloidoses; progressive supranuclear palsy and tauopathies; Lewy body disease and a-synucleinopathies, Huntington’s disease and polyglutamine repeat diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and superoxide dismutase; and Creutzfeldt-Jakob and prion protein diseases will be discussed. Brief descriptions of clinical presentation and course of the diseases will be followed by in-depth discussions of recent research from different yet complementary points of view regarding the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases and current and proposed strategies for therapeutic intervention.

A bunch of people will tell you if it wasn't taught in the Biology department, it's shouldn't go into BCPM. If it will help your BCPM GPA, go ahead and put it in there. People have gotten away with a ton of stuff that's more questionable than this. The worst that happens is your AMCAS verifier changes it. No biggie; go for it.
