[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the premed courses now?[/quote]

There aren’t set prereqs for med school.  Different schools may want to see different courses.  But in general, 1 yr of bio, chem (organic), physics, calc, statistics. Majoring in an of the sciences will likely fulfill this.  [/quote]

wrong. There are set premed courses listed under AMCAS website for MD programs. some programs want courses in addition to this minimum. 
The minimum is two years of Chem (2 sem gen chem and 2 sem Ochem), 1 sem physics (2 is often encouraged by undergrad premed advising and is needed for science majors anyway), 2 semesters Bio, 1 sem calc(top schools encourage 2), 1 sem stats, 1 sem psych, many schools encourage or require 1 sem biochem and one sem Cell bio or genetics and many encourage or require physiology with lab.

PA and NP do not get nearly the same basic science training, and the clinical hours are less than 1/4 of what MD programs and residency provide.  and that is why they cannot do as much nor get paid as much. [/quote]
