Boone1184 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Anyone aware of an online biochem class that would suffice "most" pa programs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinntsp Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I took it through Kansas State University. It was a huge time commitment but I learned a lot and enjoyed it. You can do a search for a big thread called "online classes - add to the list for more online class suggestions.

driker2 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 University of New England (UNE) offers online science courses with virtual labs through their College of Osteopathic Medicine (COM). The site is here: http://www.une.edu/com/online/ If you click on the link to Online Biochemistry, there is a link on the subsequent page that lists the programs that accept the course. You could also just email the admissions offices of the programs you're interested in to check whether or not they'll accept it. Good luck!

My problem is I wanna finish up next semester, no local cc offer biochem and ETSU only teaches Biochem in the Fall minus those in their graduate level biology courses.

Boone1184 Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 I like the option of this New England Biochem course. Have you taken this yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriarMedic Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Taking UNE's biochem now. The recommended sched has about 5 hrs of DVD lecture/week plus reading and problems. I'm grasping the material fine, but your final grade is based on the final and the final only. So thats a little daunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasheenp Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I took biochem from UNE 2 years ago. I really enjoyed the class, and they give you over 16 weeks to complete if you need it. The instructor was very nice and made personal phone calls to make sure you are doing ok. The downside was it was expensive to take. I think it cost over $1500 for the 4 credit class.

disapo11 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Im taking the biochem course in UNE now. Its accepted by 4/5 of the PA schools that I'm applying to and the 5th school is looking into it. The lectures are really well done and I feel I am learning as much as I would in a classroom. It's virtually the same thing, except that I am sitting at my dining room table. The professor is available for questions. I am a bit nervous that the final is based solely on the final, but we do have six non graded examinations and a practice final to track our progress. It is a lot of work but nothing unreasonable. You just have to be disciplined and you will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan3404 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Anyone aware of an online biochem class that would suffice "most" pa programs? http://www.une.edu/com/online/ I think this Medical Biochemistry course is accepted by most programs. It has a section on the website that shows what PA programs accept it as a prerequisite. However, I would check with your individual programs as well before you enroll.

Boone1184 Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 I appreciate the responses. Im going to start the class here in a week. Im pretty stoked that I found this given the incredible lack of biochem classes in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajdev Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Quick question: Where does it say at which schools the UNE biochem is accepted? I can't find that part..... AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajdev Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Whoops, nevermind, Just found it..... Shame, but my first-choice school isn't listed. I would think that since the PA school is an Osteopathic school that it would accept that...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disapo11 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 A few of the schools I applied to were not listed. In the end, after reviewing the courses, all of the schools decided to accept it. I would email your top choice will all the info about the course as well as the instructors contact info and ask them to consider it. You have nothing to lose my this.
