Hi Friends,

The fast track program offers following BIO courses

BIOL 5A Human Biology (4 Semester Units, includes lab)
This course is a comprehensive examination of the human organism. It begins with a survey of the principles and structures characteristic of all living things. The remainder of the course focuses on molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, histology, and genetics.

BIOL 5B Human Biology (4 Semester Units, includes lab)
This course continues with a comprehensive examination of the human organism. It focuses on histology, anatomy, and physiology of the major organ systems found in the human body. Nutrition and evolution are also discussed. Students gain a basic understanding of the structure and function of the human body on a variety of levels of organization.

BIOL 6A Human Anatomy and Physiology (4 Semester Units, includes lab)
The first semester of a two-semester sequence dealing with the structure and function of the human body and mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis within it. Topics include the study of cells, tissues, and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular and nervous systems. Emphasis is placed on the integration of systems as they relate to normal health. Laboratory exercises provide first hand experience with the structures and processes discussed in lecture.

BIOL 6B Human Anatomy and Physiology (4 Semester Units, includes lab)
This course is a continuation of the study of the structure and function of the human body and mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis within it. The endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems, as well as the concepts of nutrition, metabolism, development, fluid and electrolyte balance, and acid-base balance. Emphasis is placed on the integration of systems as they relate to normal health. Laboratory exercises provide first hand experience with the structures and processes discussed in lecture.


But last time I talked to the counsellor she said I need to attend "Principals of Biology" classes.

Do the classes offered at this school meet the pre med Pre req criteria?

Have you ever wondered that you can just simply call an admission office of med school/s you are interested in and ask this question directly ??? I mean how hard can it be to call someone and get an official answer?

Even though people who are on this forum have best of intentions their answers are still "unofficial" and you might get stuck with wrong information.

One of my Biochemistry Prof. once said, "If in this day and age you cannot make a phone call biochemistry should be the least of your concerns"

.....or just follow the track that Bio. majors take at that school. It's only going to get more difficult....

5A and 5B appear closest to a typical two-semester "General Biology" sequence, but I agree you need to speak with your school and/or med school admissions counselors to verify.
