Physicians and surgeons diagnose and treat injuries or illnesses. Physicians examine patients, take medical histories, prescribe medications, and order, perform and interpret diagnostic tests. Surgeons operate on patients to treat injuries, such as broken bones; diseases, such as cancerous tumors; and deformities. The Pre-Med program at the University of Nebraska at Kearney will prepare you for higher education in the field.
The College of Medicine of the University of Nebraska Medical Center requires a minimum of 90 semester hours for admission. However, students pursuing the pre-medical curriculum are expected to choose a major so that they can be working towards a baccalaureate degree concurrently with the Pre-Medical program. Students wanting to apply to other medical schools should check with those specific schools for additional requirements.
