What classes do I need to take to get into a health career?

We Answered:

Ok, let me explain the process to you. Getting a bachelor's degree in biology/biomedical science or any other type of biology related degrees will allow you to apply to med, optometry, dental , or pharmacy school. The undergraduate 4 year degree is the same, but you may have to take calc 2 if you apply to med school or a higher physics course for optometry school. Its still the same degree, but different graduate programs require slightly different pre-reqs.

Now with pre-nursing, most of your classes wont be acceptable if you decide to go to the med/opt route. The classes that pre-nursing students generally take are more basic courses. However, if you go the med/opt route, the higher courses that you take will count in the nursing program. For instance, students at my university can either take Anatomy 205 or 321. Anatomy 205 is more basic and have less credits which is generally for pharmacy and nursing students. The anatomy 321 is for medical/dental/opt sudents. However, the Anatomy 321 course will count as a 205 pre-req for nursing school.

Now, med school takes 8 years. You DONT have to specialize afterward, but most people do. Opt school is the same way, but residency is usually not done. Also, financial aid will usually cover your entire tuition cost. Nearly everyone is surviving off of student loans once they get to this level. You will be more focused on passing your classes than about money, since you WILL make it back.

Family life.. dont worry about it if you go the optometry/dentistry route. It is a lot more flexible and with little on calls.

MacBook Pro. If you buy one for college you get a free Ipod Touch. I have one and it was worth every penny.

Your schedule is heavy with science and math already. Take
history to balance a bit.

What should I major in for a career in Public Health?

We Answered:

To get a better idea about what your focus should be for graduate school, get to know your undergraduate professors better. Meet with them during office hours. Arrange to do undergraduate research with one of them. Ask them what journals would be good to read and ask for their help if you do not understand something. Whether you should go for the double minor depends on whether you will be able to count general chem and organic chem for both minors. If you can, I would suggest doing both, otherwise just biochem.
Is anyone at your school doing malaria research? If that is what interests you, see if you can do research with that person.
Volunteer work serving the nutritional needs of your community might be a good idea. See if you can volunteer at a food bank, soup kitchen, etc. This will give you a good idea about the local nutritional problems, which ones are due to ignorance, which are due to poverty, which are due to the choice of short-term pleasure over long term health, etc.
As a backup public health school, you might consider Indiana University, which does not currently have a school of public health but will soon have two (see link below for details). The one in Bloomington will focus more on rural health and the one in Indianapolis on urban health.
