OHSU - no hard prereq requirements?

[medfromeng]

I've DDG'd and googled and am drawing a blank: Does OHSU have specific course requirements? In particular, age requirements on pre-reqs?

• Other ohsu grad programs seem to reference MD prereq course requirements
• the admission page doesn't seem to specify Admissions | OHSU
• the only actual answer I could find does say no specific course requirements; it's odd this would just be in a PDF from 2022 ... I'd think it would be spelled out on their website? https://www.ohsu.edu/sites/default/files/2022-02/Recommended Prerequisite Competencies.pdf

I have an engineering degree (from a while ago...), plus a 30-40 credit postbacc in progress covering a year of bio, ochem, a&p as well as a few others (biochem, etc) - I'm just out double checking formal prereqs for schools I hope to apply to, while I have plenty of time to adjust my schedule if needed.

Thanks!

No. They use MCAT performance as the main metric for assessing "science knowledge".

It's an increasing trend in west coast medical schools to have zero requirements. Most of the time, you still need the typical pre-requisites to do well on the MCAT, but it makes self-study an option.

Ok, thanks for your confirmation.
