4th year undergrad year- which course would you guys recommend I take that would help me more in med school? Bacterial pathogenesis or Immunobiology?

Probably immuno, but really neither is necessary. Take what you're interested in. You'll learn everything you need to know when you actually get to med school.

Seconding @WedgeDawg , but I would add that though you'll learn this stuff in med school your life might be easier if you already knew it. In light of that, I'd go with Immunobiology since its a more difficult/intricate and high-yield subject than pathogenisis.

+1 for immuno

Immuno. Wasn't taught well at my school and I had to learn it myself. Going in depth into immunology during undergrad is very smart as it seems that many diseases have their basis in immunology, genetics and infectious disease. Relevant for every field but particularly allergy, rheumatology, pediatric nephrology, hematology/oncology

Based upon what my Immunology colleague tells me, Immunology seems to be more challenging to med students.

But why not take both?

immunobiology

Immunobiology. Of the courses I took in undergrad, I believe the following have helped or will help me the most in med school: medical microbiology, immunology, pharmacology, endocrinology, and molecular basis of human disease.

Immuno was a nightmare course in MS1...
