2026 National Medicine Bowl

The National Medicine Bowl features four categories: Cell Biology, Genetics, Human Physiology, and Human Disease. The first three categories will contain questions that are generally more advanced than those in the Biology Bowl, while the new category, Human Disease, will focus on common diseases that biology students should know about.

To prepare for the National Medicine Bowl, the following textbooks are recommended:

Campbell Biology
Essential Cell Biology
A college-level Genetics textbook
A college-level Human Physiology textbook

The first annual National Medicine Bowl will take place on Saturday, May 23, 2026.
