Medical Science Colleges

Forensic science colleges specialize in the application of a wide range of knowledge, processes, and methods used to find evidence from a crime scene, These colleges train to aid law enforcers to bring the culprits to justice.
Forensic science originated from Latin, which means “before a forum”. Most scientists are employed to verify and testify evidence in court litigations. People who master in forensic science mostly begin as laboratory scientists doing research and experiments. They are perhaps allured into the law enforcement support functions for the thrilling experience of deciphering the mysterious, the baffling, and almost insolvable crime stories. Lawyers, policemen and journalists may enroll in colleges to augment their skill sets. There are numerous science colleges and universities that offer science as an elective. Short courses are also offered online for graduate students.

Medical School Enrollments Show a Modest Increase

The number of U. S. medical students rose for the second year in a row, according to new data released today by the AAMC (Association of American Medical Colleges). First-time enrollees in the 2006 entering class totaled almost 17,400, a 2.2 percent increase over last year. The AAMC believes a 30 percent increase in total medical school enrollment can be achieved to prevent a future shortage of physicians by increasing class sizes in existing schools as well as building new medical schools.

The total number of medical school applicants for the 2005-2006 school year also increased to 37,364, a 4.6 percent gain over last year’s total of 35,735. Driving this increase were more Hispanic and Asian applicants. Overall, applications from Hispanic students rose by 6.4 percent, with applications from Mexican Americans up almost 8 percent over 2004. The number of Asian applicants increased to 7,286 from 6,737, an 8.1 percent increase over 2004. The number of black applicants was essentially unchanged at 2,809, and black enrollment declined slightly to 1,068 from the 2004 total of 1,086. A gain in the number of male applicants also contributed to the overall applicant increase. For the first time in two years, men reclaimed the majority, with 50.2 percent of the applicant pool. This year there were 18,744 male applicants and 18,620 female applicants.
