CWRU Pre-Med questions

Lets us use this area for Pre-med track questions

The Pre Med forum on CC would be much more useful.

To-Do List for First-Year Students Interested in Pre-Health at CWRU

Take courses recommended for first-year students pursuing professional health sciences.

Explore and take courses that are genuinely interesting regardless of whether or not they fall into fields associated with the health science professions.

Attend the pre-health information sessions during new student orientation.

If not already enrolled by the middle of October, get access to the CWRU pre-medical, pre-dental, and pre-health professions Blackboard page by sending a request to Mr. Wes Schaub.

Volunteer in a clinical environment such as the Cleveland Clinic, University Hospital Medical Centers, the Louis Stokes VA Medical Center, MetroHealth Medical Center, the CWRU Dental Clinic, Judson Manor, Hope Lodge, or the Ronald McDonald House.

Shadow at least one professional in your health science field of interest in order to learn more about the rewards and demands of the career.

Explore opportunities to engage in research by talking to your professors and advisors and through the SOURCE (Support of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors) Office.

Consider joining student organizations with a variety of focuses (not only health- or science-based) to explore academic interests, develop leadership skills, and to HAVE FUN!

Attend information sessions held throughout the first year focused on career exploration, applicant preparation, and professional development in medicine, dentistry, and other health professional areas.

During your first year, meet at least once with Mr. Wes Schaub (pre-medicine) to discuss your interests and goals related to the health science professions.

@bopper is there a way that I can get in contact with a current pre med student at case, like through email or something.

I would suggest talking to your Admissions Counselor and see if they could put you in touch with a student.

Thanks for the advice

Some Case faculty in economics, CS and physics have a medical focus. For instance, economics professors study the economics of drugs, and there is a strong theoretical biophysics faculty who works with Cleveland Clinic’s Dr. Jacob Scott, on applying math to cancer treatments. Other physics professors study MRI and other medical measurement techniques, and CS professors study medical records.
