Applicants will be offered seats in the current intake of the program according to their ranking. Written offers will be made to the contact information provided by the applicant on their application, and verified by admissions when the application package is sent out to the applicant. A seat offer must be accepted and payment of seat deposit must be made by the offer-acceptance deadline or the offer will be considered to be declined and the seat will be offered to another student. Once the program has been filled, a waitlist will be created for the current intake. The waitlist will also be populated according to qualified students’ rankings. Any applicant who is not admitted or does not take a seat ina given year must reapply if he or she wants to be considered in a subsequent year. ADVANCE CREDIT Applicants with previous related work experience or documented formal learning may be eligible for advance credit. For more information contact the School Chair. Application Information The Selkirk College Rural Pre-Medicine Program application process is outlined in detail at http:// selkirk.ca/program/rural-pre-medicine/application- information. Dates will be posted on the website each year. The Rural Pre-Medicine program will be using a continuous intake model for the 2017 cycle. This means that outstanding individuals who submit their applications before the final deadline will be offered seats in the program early. It is to your advantage to apply well before the final deadline! * All application documents must be received by the deadline date, please check our website for the deadline date. Program Courses ANTH 201 - ETHNIC RELATIONS An introduction to the comparative study of “race” and ethnic relations from local to international contexts. The course explores social stratification according to race and ethnicity and looks at the motivations and consequences of such classifications and their relationships to other forms of stratification. Pre-requisites: ANTH 100 or ANTH 107 recommended; ENGL 12 or equivalent with a grade of "C" or better. selkirk.ca/programs BIOC 302 - GENERAL BIOCHEMISTY BIOL 104 - BIOLOGY I A course designed for those students who require first year biology in their program of study or who wish to go on to further study in biology. The course includes cell biology, biochemistry, and an examination of the processes of life in the plant and animal body. A strong emphasis is placed on the development of critical thinking skills through problem solving, research design, and laboratory analysis. Pre-requisites: BIOL 12 or equivalent and CHEM 11 or equivalent. Students lacking the stated prerequisites may enrol in the course with written permission of the Schoo! Chair; however, they should be aware that they will be required to do additional work. This course is available via Distance Education, but requires attendance at weekly on-site labs. BIOL 106 - BIOLOGY II Along with BIOL 104 (Biology I), this course provides an overview of the study of living things. Biology 106 presents topics in population, community and ecosystem ecology, and classical and molecular genetics. Evolution provides a unifying theme for the course. A strong emphasis is placed on the development of critical thinking skills through problem solving, case studies and laboratory investigation. Pre-requisites: BIOL 104 with a grade of "C" or better or written permission of the Instructor and School Chair. BIOL 164 - HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY | This course provides an integrative approach to the normal structure and function of the human body. Repair and replication, structural support, nervous integration, movement and metabolism are examined at the cellular, tissue and system levels. Recent scientific discoveries are presented as a means of relating the systems studied to various applied disciplines including health care and Kinesiology. Pre-requisites: BIOL 12, CHEM 11, and one of BIOL 11, CHEM 12, or PHYS 12 (BIOL 11 recommended) with a grade of "C" or better. BIOL 165 - HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY II A continuation of Biology 164, this course covers the cardiovascular, respiratory, lymphatic, urinary and digestive systems. Endocrinology is discussed throughout as a means of integrating the various systems to the function of the body as a whole. The focus remains on application of knowledge gained in this course. Pre-requisites: BIOL 164 with a "C" or better or written permission of the Instructor and Schoo! Chair. RURAL PRE-MEDICINE selkirk.ca/rural-pre-medicine BIOL 204 - CELL BIOLOGY This course provides the student with a thorough knowledge of cell structure and function. Topics covered include biomolecules, membranes, organelles, cell movement, cell signaling, gene regulation, and transcription and translation. Experimental techniques used in modern cellular and molecular biology are also introduced. Pre-requisites: BIOL 104 and 106 with a grade of "C" or better, or written permission of the Instructor and School Chair. BIOL 206 - INTRODUCTORY BIOCHEMISTRY This course provides an introduction to biochemistry including protein structure and function, and representative catabolic and anabolic pathways. Topics covered include water, enzyme kinetics and enzyme structure and function. Experimental techniques used in biochemistry and molecular biology are also introduced. Pre-requisites: Biology 104 and 106 with a grade of "C" or better, or written permission of the Instructor and School Chair. NOTE: Students are advised to take CHEM 272 as a prerequisite and CHEM 273 concurrently with BIOL 206. BUSI 300 - BUSINESS MGMT FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS BUSI 300: Small Business Management for Health Care Professionals provides students with the basic skills involved in opening and running a medical clinic. An introduction to human resources will involve hiring, evaluating, developing and managing office staff. Basic skills in fiscal management include an introduction to unit based finance and budgeting. CHEM 122 - GENERAL CHEMISTRY I CHEM 122: General Chemistry Lis an introductory general chemistry course leading into science or engineering programs for students who have a solid chemistry background, including Chemistry 12 or equivalent. After a short review of fundamental chemistry, classical and quantum mechanical concepts are used to discuss atomic and molecular structure. The course ends with an investigation of intermolecular forces in liquids and solids. The lab work stresses scientific observations and measurements using chemical syntheses and quantitative analyses. Pre-requisites: CHEM 12 or CHEM 62/63 or CHEM 110, and Pre-calculus Math 11 (Principles of MATH 11) or Math o50 or MATH §2/53, each with a “C” or better. Pre-calculus Math 72 (Principles of Math 12) or Math 051 or MATH 62/63 is recommended. Selkirk College Academic Calendar 2016-17 221
