QUOTE The typical courses that must be taken to meet the pre-medical requirement are: * General Chemistry 1 & 2 (with laboratories) * General Biology 1 & 2 (with laboratories) (some schools allow zoology in place of second semester) * Organic Chemistry 1 & 2 (with laboratories) (some schools allow biochemistry in place of second semester) * General Physics 1 & 2 (with laboratories) * One or two semesters of math, at least pre-calculus (algebra and trigonometry). Of course calculus 1 and either calculus 2 or a statistics course are preferential. * English and Writing Pre-medical students may be advised or required to take upper level biology and chemistry electives, such as cellular biology, physical chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, etc. Specific requirements for these courses vary by institution. Schools may also have requirements for non-science classes. Some schools require a certain number of general humanities credits, while others have specific requirements for courses in English, Psychology, or other disciplines. ^Are these the requirements to be a Premed? Is anyone here a Premed? How much work does it take to become one and what is the best year to be one(age). And what are the best doctor categories? Like what's the most stable, lots of money type of doctor to be? I really like these types right now: Psychiatrist Anesthesiologist Physician Tell me what you think? |

I'm premed right now in Boston University. That is basically my curriculum with the addition of required physical education and humanities electives. It's a lot of work. A lot. It's very demanding and require a lot of concentrate and time. Premed isn't like a title. It's just a guideline/curriculum to follow. It's like any other major. When you want to become premed, in college since some high schools do offer a prepremed like thing, you follow a tract that sets up all the basic knowledge and background you need to carry into the medical field. Some colleges change for curriculum but most is the same with Intro Bio and Chem. On what age... premed has a certain number of requirements and schools also have a deadline to declare your major. Being a freshman and being a sophomore won't change how well premed stuff will work with you. Pharmacists make a lot of money. A ridic amount of money. But I think it's boring. |
