Useful Pre-Med Courses

[theslave]

I wanted to make a thread about useful science courses or non-science courses that students could take to build skills and knowledge.

Here is my list (no specific order)

- Spanish
- Biochemistry
- Immunology
- Human embryology (or whatever your college calls it)
- Economics
- English (a basic writing course)
- Speech
- others?

Classes that are ok to take, but they don't go nearly as in depth as one would really want:

- A&P
- Pathology
- Cell and molecular biology
- Cancer biology
- Medical microbiology

1) neurobiology
2) Genetics
3) nutrition

Other than that I think you pretty much covered all the bases.

 

[NutCracker2021]

very important to take a social science course or two (your school probably will expect you to do so for general ed. requirements)

Psychology!

Microbio - gets immuno and genetics all in one.
Genetics
BioChem
Cell and Tissue Bio
Physiology

Then, Speech communications, literature, ethics, writing course of some kind, underwater basket weaving, bowling, racketball, etc.

 

[airplanes]

Two that have helped me a lot:

1) Biomedical ethics
2) Professional Interview course

 

[fastnfurious]

considering you take physio, biochem, and micro first year of med school. I'll have to go with those in that particular order...
