UCR/UCLA THOMAS HAIDER PROGRAM IN BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES The Biomedical Sciences Program is an innovative approach to medical education developed by the University of California, Riverside, the UCLA School of Medicine and the clinically affiliated medical centers in the surrounding communities of Riverside and San Bernardino. It offers highly qualified students the opportunity to earn the M.D. degree in seven years instead of eight. It emphasizes the education of physicians who deal with the entire spectrum of disease diagnosis and treatment. Moreover, it provides a social and cultural background for its participants by including electives in the humanities and in the social and behavioral sciences as part of the curriculum. Changes to the Biomedical Sciences Program application procedure are being considered for Fall 2003 admission. Check biomedupdate.ucr.edu or contact the program office for current information. The Biomedical Sciences Program admits freshmen qualified for entrance into the University of California. Admission is granted to high school graduates entering UCR in the fall quarter. In addition, high school applicants to the UCR/UCLA Thomas Haider Program in Biomedical Sciences must have demonstrated a high level of scholarship in high school so as to provide a strong foundation for undertaking the rigorous, accelerated, first-year curriculum. Admission is also subject to the following criteria:
Test scores from the SAT or American College Test (ACT) and three required College Board Achievement Tests are also used to determine eligibility for admission. Continuation in the program for each succeeding year is decided primarily by a review of academic performance. UCR students may also transfer into the Biomedical Sciences Program up until the end of their sophomore year if they have
UCR students interested in transferring into the Biomedical Sciences major are encouraged to contact the Divisional Program Advisor. During the first three years, students complete a core of premedical courses in the biological and physical sciences and introductory courses in biomedical ethics and medical care, as well as electives in the social sciences and humanities. At the conclusion of the third undergraduate year, students are selected for continuation in the medical school phase of the program. The admissions process involves consideration of the student's record of scholarship, demonstrated aptitude for a commitment to medicine, activities outside of the academic setting, interaction with and compassion for others, leadership qualifications, and general personality traits that best characterize the physician. The admissions committee evaluates academic transcripts, MCAT scores, letters of recommendation, a statement from the student and reports from special faculty interviewers. The total information is reviewed and advancement to the medical phase for each student is determined by vote of all members of the admissions committee. Beginning with the fourth year, those students advanced to the medical school phase of the program are enrolled concurrently at UCR and the UCLA School of Medicine while still in residence at UCR. Students take course work in human anatomy, pathology, physiology, Doctoring 1, medical microbiology, and neurosciences. Students continue their fifth year program of clinical studies, pharmacology, and patient relations at UCR. After their fifth year they transfer to the UCLA School of Medicine and complete the last two years of M.D. requirements. They also receive the B.S. degree from UCR after the fourth year in the program. Those students who do not continue in the accelerated program have additional opportunities to pursue careers in the health sciences. For example, after earning a B.S. degree they would be well qualified for application for admission to any four-year medical school, including the UCLA School of Medicine. The Biomedical Sciences Program also qualifies students for alternate possibilities such as pursuing graduate study for an M.S. or Ph.D. degree in any of the health-related sciences. Degree Requirements University Requirements See the Undergraduate Studies section for requirements that all students must satisfy. College Requirements See Degree Requirements, College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences, in the Undergraduate Studies Section, for requirements that students in the B.S. program must satisfy. See the Biomedical Sciences Program office for courses that fulfill the Humanities and Social Sciences breadth requirement. Program Requirements The required program in Biomedical Sciences shown below meets both college breadth and Major Requirements. Special requirements of the program are as follows:
Students not selected for continuation in the medical school phase of the accelerated program change to another major in the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences and complete the course requirements for that major in the fourth year. Students in the Biomedical Sciences Program are urged to consult periodically with a faculty advisor.
