Hey SDN community,
I am studying for a B.S in Biology and i decided that i wanted a double minor in Geography and History. I am considering dropping my geography minor in order for me to take classes like biochemistry, molecule biology and developmental biology during my senior year. I was recommended by a peer of mine that these classes are integral to take. Is this a smart idea?
To elaborate, a geography and history minor seems irrelevant for a career in the health industry--specifically for a MD. But in fact, my history classes will classes like "History of Medicine,"Social History of American Medicine" and "Medicine and Health Care in China." For geography, it would be classes like "geography of disease and health."
I read in various threads from other SDN users that medical schools do NOT care about minors at all. But what if the classes of minors are health-topic related?
In general, I heard contradictory opinions from other peers of mine on taking a minor. Some say you should especially if its a social science/art&hum. minor but on several threads here, medical schools won't even know I taken one.
The main question I have is, Biochemistry/dev.bio/mole.bio > geography minor?
