Kettering University now offers students the opportunity to prepare for medical school with a new Premedical Course of Study program.

Dr. Stacy Seeley, associate professor of Chemistry/Biochemistry, has been named as the pre-med coordinator for Kettering University's Premedical Education Course of Study. Seeley's appointment begins in the Spring 2008 term. She will be the primary contact for students interested in pursuing pre-med studies.

"I believe that officially establishing this course of study and providing the appropriate resources will allow us to build on our past strengths and capitalize on the opportunities ahead," said Dr. Michael Harris, provost and vice president for Academic Affairs. "Our pre-med program positions us to become the premier pre-med program in the region. We are building on our heritage and strengths," he said.

Students who complete this course of study will receive a bachelor of science in their respective degree program along with a minor in Biochemistry, preparing them for medical school, a job in the growing bio-technical industry or graduate school.

"As medicine becomes increasingly technical, having a strong foundation in science with an understanding of engineering will make the difference," said Dr. Patrick Atkinson, professor of Mechanical Engineering. "What makes the Kettering program different is that the co-op experience gives Kettering students an opportunity to learn both in the classroom and in the real world, which translates into an added value that enables them to get into medical school," he added.

Supporting the pre-med course of study are the newly formed Biochemistry Department and the donation of the Dane and Mary Louise Miller Life Sciences and Bio-Engineering Laboratory facilities that include surgery simulation suites, a cold room, storage area and a prep room to support laboratory functions.
