A student wishing to become a doctor or dentist can major in any subject she or he chooses since there is no such thing as a pre-med major, as there is an English major or a Chemistry major.  Some pre-medical students major in one or more of the traditional physical sciences. However, in the beginning of the 21st century, medical schools are looking for applicants who are well-rounded, thus students majoring in Psychology, Philosophy, Literature, etc. are also pre-med majors.  All students interested in pre-medical and medical education take the series of courses the Association of American Medical Colleges has recommended.

SUNY Oswego has a Pre-Medical Advisory Committee  (consult College of Liberal Arts & Sciences Dean’s office for more information) to assist pre-medical and predental students with their questions, SUNY Oswego's own procedures for letters of reference, and med school application procedures.

Members of the Pre-medical Advisory Committee (PMAC):

Kestas Bendinskas, Chemistry
Brooks Gump, Psychology
James MacKenzie, Biological Sciences
Peter A.Rosenbaum, Biological Sciences
Elizabeth Bridges, Admissions
Bob Casper, Career Services
