Washington and Lee University is a small liberal arts college that has more bioscience and chemistry majors pursue careers in health professions than Ph.D. studies in the disciplines.  As a result, the announcement of the new biochemistry requirement for MCAT2015 inspired us to redraw our chemistry and biochemistry major course sequences, producing a path that allows all pre-health students to enter biochemistry in the fall of the junior year.  This new path begins with a one-semester general chemistry course covering the majority of the general chemistry competencies on MCAT2015.  Adjustments were made to the analytical and physical chemistry courses to regain topics �lost� from the current year-long general chemistry course.  I will present the syllabus for the new one-semester general chemistry course, the course sequence for the major, and the evolution of the discussions that led to this outcome.
