After high school, Liberal Arts & Sciences (LAS) with Pre-Med offered the possibility to pursue my dream of becoming a doctor and develop in other fields of science such as psychology, law and international relations. As a doctor I still benefit from these courses every day. I believe that understanding what is happening in the world and being able to understand what kind of issues patients deal with other than their medical problems, does make you a better doctor.

Other than the extra courses LAS offers, it also has excellent research courses. During my premaster I noticed how well developed my research skills were, including presenting and writing essays. This way LAS medical track also prepares you very well for the option of becoming a researcher or combining research with the daily practice of being a doctor.
LAS also offers great study circumstances. The small classes and PBL learning sessions make you understand the human body and logically understand its diseases, instead of simply studying symptoms and signs from lecture slides. Doing so, it will be easier to diagnose more difficult cases you may come across as a doctor in the future.
