After completing Gen Bio 1/2, Gen Chem 1/2, Physics 1/2, and Genetics.
I will have left: Which do you guys think I should do in the fall and semester paired with Orgo
Organismal Biology (summer course)
Physiology
Cell and Molecular Biology
Orgo 1/2
Ecology and Evolution

Also, which of these physiology courses seem better.

This is in-depth exploration of the integrated functioning of the cardiovascular, renal and pulmonary systems. Emphasis is primarily on human dynamic, non-pathological responses to a range of conditions including exercise and extreme environments. Structural and physiological aspects are covered. Clinical case studies highlight the interdependence of the systems. This course is appropriate for students considering health-related careers

Areas covered include muscular function, cardiovascular system function, bioelectrical signals, capillary-level transport, organ-level exchange and immune system function. For Biomedical Engineering Students only.

Any advice?

At my school, we only offer A&P 1 and 2 (with the second one having the description you provided) and mammalian physiology (not human specific but pretty close). The anatomy part is pretty useless and so I would take anything you can find that is just physiology. Keep in mind that I'm not the go to source since I haven't taken a physio class and am just using Berkeley Review Part 1 and watching a bunch of YouTube videos.

Anyone else have input?

Don't know if this would apply to you:

Assuming you are a BME major....do both! The first is more traditional for pre-meds, but the second will only help. Maybe do the traditional one this year and the BME one next year if you are still interested.

I would do:

Fall: Orgo I, Ecology & Evol, Physiology.
Spring: Orgo II, Cell and Mol Biology.

If you wait til the 2nd sem. to take cell and mol bio then you potentially will get more out of it with some orgo under your belt. e.g. the TCA cycle molecular structures

Thanks so much for the advice, I'm actually not a biomed eng major, but have already spoken to the dept and they said it should be fine, I just needed to pick one of the two, whether a more general or more specific physio. But I didn't know which would be better to help prepare for the mcat, and if taking physio last would be better as it would tie in everything.
