YT2095 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 take Biology for Sure then, you`ll need those in either Field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timo Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 It might be helpful if you sketch the reasons why you are interested in those two fields - from my perspective they seem very unfamiliar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ydoaPs Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 i know,they are two completly different career paths Are they really that dissimilar? All over the world there are plants that have amazing properties for use in healing various illnesses. America(and maybe Europe, I don't really know about them) likes to go the route of artificial drugs, but there may be a market for natural remedies. You could market vegans and such or you could even just do agricultural medicinal research. I don't see why you must separate them. Can you not pursue both options?

DrDNA Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Smarty, Major in biology (or similar, possible animal sciences or agriculture..??). The important thing is to sure that you do extra well in the premed weed out classes (gen chem, organic chem, animal and plant bio, genetics and molec bio, calc, etc) to keep your options open. Work in some different labs and volunteer in hospitals. You probably won't need to decide until the middle of your third year anyway (when you actaully apply to med schools). You'll know by then. Study like a dog but enjoy the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirabelle Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 There is a very small (but growing) field called nuetraceuticals. Although many people do not consider this a valid feild of study there are a few smaller colleges that offer this elective. The American College of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine is the one I am most familiar with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDarwin Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Or if you want a field that's a little more legitimate, there's always ethnobotany or medical anthropology (both disciplines of anthropology). Really look into an anthropology major. A lot of people don't think of it unless they want do forensics or Margaret Mead sorts of things but it's a really a very broad field. There are plenty of chances to fuse all sorts of diverse interests within an anthropological context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
