Biomedical sciences are an interdisciplinary major designed for students who plan to attend medical school or conduct biomedical research in graduate school and beyond. The curriculum broadly surveys across scientific and mathematical fields relevant to modern medical study. Course work in the major, combined with the expectation that students in the major complete an Honors research project, provides the breadth and depth of knowledge and skills assessed by the revised Medical College Admissions Test introduced in 2015 (MCAT2015). Entry into the biomedical sciences major is selective and based on demonstrated aptitude in the sciences and a commitment toward continued medical study. The Departments of Biochemistry, Microbiology, Biology, and Chemistry collaborate to offer the biomedical sciences major. Course Work The biomedical sciences curriculum includes required and elective course work in biochemistry, biology, chemistry, human physiology, mathematics, microbiology, physics, psychology, sociology, and statistics. Students develop critical analysis and reasoning skills through course work and independent research. Students gain knowledge of the biological, biochemical, chemical, and physical foundations of living systems, and the psychological, social, and biological foundations of behavior.

It established the first law school and the first educational radio station west of the Mississippi, broadcast the world's first educational television programs, and developed and continues to hold preeminence in educational testing.The University has world renowned research programs in genetics, hydraulics, and speech and hearing, and has recorded major innovations in agricultural medicine, biocatalysis, biomedical engineering, biomedical sciences, and pharmacology education. Its graduate programs in audiology, printmaking, creative writing, speech-language pathology, and nursing service administration are first-ranked. Iowa scientists, including James Van Allen, have been pioneers in space research, designing and building research instruments for more than 50 successful U.S. satellites and space probes. The University of Iowa operates one of the nation's most advanced and comprehensive university-owned teaching hospitals. It also has developed the most technically advanced driving simulator in the world.
