physics requirement

[sush85]

Hey, I was just wondering if there are any U.S. med schools that don't have a physics requirement. Every one I've looked at so far seems to have one. I live in Ontario (Canada) and haven't taken any physics as it isn't required for Ontario schools. Thanks!

The only school I ever heard of was Medical University of South Carolina http://www.musc.edu/es/Bulletin_PDFS/bulletin_medicine.pdf, but that may have changed and they pretty much only take in-staters. Why not apply, then take physics? That's what I did. Most schools only require that the prereqs are completed by time of matriculation - only a few will exlude you if you don't have it at the time of application.

Every school should have a physics requirement. You actually use physics. Physics in infinitely more useful than o-chem and whatsmore its straightforward and reletively easy. Just take physics--the non-calc based "models" class is fine--it will serve you well
