Prerequisite courses are the foundational coursework required for most health professional programs.
Prerequisite courses, also referred to as "requisite" or "required" courses, are typically defined as college-level courses needed for entry into a health professional program. Each health professional program will specify the prerequisite courses that are required for that program and when those courses need to be completed.
Keep in mind that additional courses may be needed for successful performance on the MCAT, PCAT, GRE, or other standardized admission tests.
