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 tried to cover all bases of it. I clarified several times that there's the MAJOR approach and the CURRICULUM approach. Not all have the "help you fulfill requirements premed program while you major in something substantial" because it takes money and counseling. It's only recently that colleges are moving away from a set premed degree to just a simple overall curriculum. Plenty still have Premed as a major and even if they don't, the alternative majors are still very much Premed and not very substantial to the outside world because it has no real application in the outside world. QUOTE Look, just because whatever college you go to has premed as a major, doesn't mean that you can assume that every single college is the same. So how can you accuse me of answering under the pretense of my college when you outright said there's no Premed major just because Columbia doesn't? She asked what type of doctor makes the most money. Saying physician doesn't cover it because it's the base level of being a doctor. All doctors are considered physicians, true. However, in the context of that question, answering physician is like answering, "What type of doctor makes the most money?... Doctors" |
