    Non-Degree (Affiliation Programs Available)
    Erie, Pennsylvania

成人抖音破解版’s pre-professional programs span many branches of the health field, meaning there is no shortage of options for you to choose from. Our small class sizes, high-quality academics and customized curricula collectively create the strong foundation you need to become a competitive professional school applicant and prepare to excel in meaningful in-demand careers.

Learn to Lead the Way in Podiatry

Podiatrists are physicians whose primary focus is to diagnose and treat conditions associated with the foot and ankle. A number of diseases (i.e., diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, and kidney disease) initially manifest through symptoms of the lower extremities, and as a result podiatrists are often the first to detect many conditions which may otherwise go unnoticed. Our small class sizes, high-quality academics and customized curricula collectively create a strong foundation for students preparing to apply to podiatry school. Students are able to complete the necessary prerequisite coursework and major in a degree of their choosing (most commonly biology, chemistry or biochemistry). Students are provided with expert advising and numerous resources as they work toward becoming a competitive professional school applicant.

Experience an Exceptional Learning Environment

成人抖音破解版’s pre-podiatry students have the opportunity to become well-rounded leaders both in and out of the classroom. Their involvement in service and scholarship activities helps to prepare them for a career in the health professions. Pre-podiatry students are eligible to participate in: 成人抖音破解版 faculty-led research, Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU), a program sponsored by the NSF, shadowing opportunities coordinated by the Career Exploration and Development Office, workshops reviewing the application process, personal statements, interviewing, etc., unique courses including Community Health Coaches (course and internship), Medical Practice and Training, and an MCAT prep course, 成人抖音破解版 Pre-Health Club, Health Professions Theme Community, a residency enrichment program located in North Hall.

Achieve the Possibilities

There are many specific career paths stemming from podiatric medicine. Such opportunities include, but are not limited to, the following:

Inspire Your Academic Success

成人抖音破解版 has a long history of helping a number of qualified and motivated students successfully achieve acceptance into podiatry school. Students may pursue a major of their choice in which they will receive expert advising. They take a balanced and rigorous course load that includes the fundamental science and math courses podiatry schools require as prerequisite coursework.

Curriculum highlights include hands-on laboratory experiences for most biology and chemistry courses, which are conducted in small interactive group settings of 20-30 students. Some of these courses include:

BIOL 368 and BIOL 369: Animal Physiology and Lab: This course deals with the normal functioning of the body (primarily human body) and its component parts. The course focuses on physiological mechanisms involved in neuronal and chemical signaling, movement, metabolism, respiration, circulation, excretion, etc. The principles and concepts learned in the lecture class are reinforced through hands-on experience in the lab. 

BIOL 365 and BIOL 366: Human Gross Anatomy and Lab: The Human Gross Anatomy course is lecture-based and uses a regional approach to study the human body. It is taken simultaneously with Human Gross Anatomy Lab. Dissection of human cadavers by students is a key component of the lab. In addition, learning is facilitated through the use of anatomical models.

CHEM 366: Structural Biochemistry: This course focuses on a systematic study of the biologically important compounds including the amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, enzymes, carbohydrates and lipids. Emphasis is placed upon the structure, properties, syntheses, reactions and functions of these compounds.
