Prerequisites
Students must meet the high standards of both Mayo Medical School and Mayo Graduate School. The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) and a bachelor's degree are required. Your college work must include:
One year of biology and/or zoology
Two years of chemistry (with lab, must include organic chemistry)
One year of physics (with lab)
One biochemistry course
One year of calculus
Although these are the minimum required science classes, successful applicants to the Medical Scientist Training Program always have exceptionally strong preparation in a science or engineering field. Additionally, extensive and progressively more advanced prior research experience is expected.
