How to take a med school class as an undergrad student?

I wanted to take a med school class and I am still in undergrad. Do you know what department usually handles that, med school admissions or somebody else? Or I have to do it through my pre-med advisor?

If you have in mind registering for a medical school course, taking exams and being graded, and having the course and credits appear on your undergraduate transcript, I believe you will find that impossible. At most, and I think even that unlikely, you might ask a medical school to let you just sit in and listen to lectures. But why?
You will still not exempt any courses at whatever medical school you may eventually attend.

Use college for college courses. If you need a few extra credits, take a literature course, a poetry course, anthropology, history, philosophy, music, sociology, elementary ancient Greek. Any of those will do more to make you an educated person than any head start on medical school basic sciences.

Heh,

I took med school biochemistry and a grad school cancer class and had them count towards my major!

EDIT: With grades! =]

Coming to the lectures without getting a grade is boring. I want to get a real grade. I signed up for Physeo course at school but I did not really like my instructor at school. Do I have to talk to med school admissions offce about that?

Odds are, you won't be able to take medschool classes. You can take equivalent classes but most schools probably won't let you take med classes for a grade. Most don't even grade on a A-F scale...
