Medical Education |
| |
The University of North Dakota School of
Medicine & Health Sciences adds seven slots
in its freshman class each year for fully
qualified INMED students. This commitment
of slots for American Indian students has
helped UND to maintain a leadership role
in educating American Indian physicians.
INMED personnel maintain educational linkages
with other medical schools, and the program
can provide referral services and assist
applicants in locating medical education
opportunites throughout the United States.
The UND School of Medicine & Health Sciences
application deadline is November 1 each
year (for medical school entry in August
of the following year). UND offers a full
four years of medical education in North
Dakota; however, some INMED students complete
the first two years of medical school at
UND and transfer to the University of South
Dakota School of Medicine or elsewhere for
third- and fourth-year clinical training.

Pre-Medicine |
| |
The University of North Dakota School of
Medicine & Health Sciences requires the
applicant to have completed a minimum of
90 semester hours of credit from an approved
college or university. Preference is given
to students who have completed an undergraduate
degree and who are broadly educated in the
sciences and humanities.
The School of Medicine & Health Sciences
recognizes that, since medicine deals with
people, an understanding of literature,
art, history, ethics, and philosophy is
an adjunct to a physician. Science and the
humanities are not mutually exclusive and
both are viewed as necessary for the practice
of medicine. It also is highly recommended
that students be computer literate. Minimum
prerequisite courses are as follows:
| Chemistry |
16 |
| Inorganic
and qualitative |
8 |
| Organic |
8* |
| Biology (with laboratory) |

| Physics (with laboratory |
8 |
| Psychology/Sociology |

| Language Arts (English, Speech,
etc.) |

| College Algebra |

| *A student may substitute
a semester or quarter of biochemistry
for the final semester/quarter of
organic chemistry. |
INMED assists advanced college students
and graduates in preparing to attend medical
school. These students enroll in University
of North Dakota undergraduate or graduate
courses to strengthen their medical science
backgrounds and to complete medical school
admissions requirements. Workshops assist
upperclassmen and graduates in preparing
for the Medical College Admissions Test
and the medical school application and interview
process. MCAT preparation sessions are held
during the fall and spring semester and
during the summer Med Prep course. INMED's
Learning Resource Center contains computer
software packages designed to assist students
in preparing for the MCAT and MCAT study
manuals. INMED assists postbaccalaureate
students in applying to the University of
North Dakota and to other medical schools.

Nursing |
| |
To be eligible for consideration for admission
to the College of Nursing, a student must
have completed one year of pre-nursing education.
The required courses include general chemistry,
organic biochemistry, human anatomy, introduction
to psychology, introduction to sociology
(anthropology can be taken in place of sociology),
and English composition. College Level Examination
Program (CLEP) subject exam results will
be accepted according to current University
policy.
Students who decide to complete pre-nursing
requirements elsewhere should plan their
coursework in consultation with the College
of Nursing. The College of Nursing offers
bachelors, masters and doctoral degrees.
