Doctor of Medicine

Undergraduate pre-health sciences students at Iowa are encouraged to choose a major in any area. Many major in a scientific field, although students who choose majors in areas such as the humanities (e.g., English or philosophy) or social sciences (e.g., psychology or anthropology) do very well when they apply to medical school. There is no single undergraduate major that best prepares students for entry into the health sciences, so choose a major that genuinely interests you.
