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?
