MokahFitChick Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Hello! So I could take Upper Division Anatomy to get exposed to it again. I have already taken the AP1 and AP2. This semester I took Upper Division Physiology to help fulfill my upper division Bio requirements so I can apply this summer. If I don't take upper division anatomy I will have more study time for Organic Chemistry and I can take Biostatistics instead which will fulfill my back up plan (MPH). I have taken statistics but it was an intro class and I really don't remember anything from it. I don't know what to do. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemegroup Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 You will be taking advanced anatomy in your PA program. Unless the programs you want to apply to require A and P to be separate courses, I wouldn't worry too much about taking more anatomy now. Also, The O-Chem isn't a requirement at too many programs so I'm thinking you're a Bio major who needs it to graduate or perhaps to take BioChem (which is more often a requirement at PA schools but often needs O-Chem for pre-req).

kayakr Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I also wouldn't worry about it. It could help in anatomy at PA school a little bit, but probably won't help that much...anatomy will be a lot of work either way. It sounds like your time can be better used elsewhere. If you are truly interested in medicine, you probably won't find gross anatomy that hard because it's so interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MokahFitChick Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 @Hemegroup I was told that taking O-chem would help out with PA school as well, and I am taking it to get into Biochemistry. I am a health and wellness major so none of these sciences actually apply to my degree. I may be able to fulfill a Bio minor though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Depends where you're going. I wish I did it. It would have been really, really helpful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marktheshark89 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 IMO anatomy will help out more with PA school than will O-chem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
