Pre-Med is not a major, but a term to show the goal to get into med school

很多场合，我们听到家长们用pre-med, 其实pre-med 的学生都挂靠在某些专业上。

"Pre-med" is the term people use to show that they want to go to med school and are taking the classes they need to get there. It's primarily used by college students. There isn't actually a major called "pre-med;" pre-med is just a term to let people know you have plans to be a doctor. You can be a biology major and a pre-med, a Spanish major and a pre-med, etc.

Students say that they're pre-med to let others know about their career goals and to make sure they're taking the correct classes to get into med school. If you tell your advisor that you're a biology major, she'll focus on making sure you get all the requirements for that major completed, but if you let her know that you're a biology major and also pre-med, she'll work with you to also ensure you take all the classes needed to apply to med school.

Similarly, if you're applying to jobs or volunteer positions and state that you're a pre-med, the people looking at applications will know that you plan on becoming a doctor, and they may be more likely to offer you a position that's related to the medical field.
