This video is NOT a definitive guide on what the best premed majors are. There is no definitive best premed majors. Everyone's interests, goals, and circumstances are different and should be considered when choosing a major. That being said, I still think you can make some broad generalizations about premed majors and come up with a fun tier list.
The key takeaways are that you should consider:
1) Choose a major that fits in with the story of why you want to become a physician and will help you achieve your goals
2) Pick a major that you find interesting that you can talk passionately about by the time you are interviewing at medical schools
3) Consider subjects you are good at that will help you achieve a high GPA. (You will care more about and want to study more for a subject you are excited about!!)
4) Consider how the major aligns with medical school prereqs and preparing you for the mcat.

@@DoctorRex YELL YELL YELL! 😆 Since you & most of us already know almost ALLLLLLLL videos on this topic say "it depends", I was expecting & dreading hearing you say, "Well, it really depends on you". #1. I ABSOLUTELY give you credit for saying I'm not going to give a complete cop-out answer 2. I think the majority of us know it depends but we still want that "check-this-list-it-has-all-premed-undergrad-strategy-answers" type answer. I sometimes wonder why some of the people who do the videos didn't decide to become an attorney instead it depends is more often an attorney answer. I still go back and forth because if we continue free mad I won't be done until my son is 18 and leaving for college. So it helps me 0 in terms of earning capacity to better stabilize my ability to support him. I've always been passionate about law but I've also been really curious dealing with some of his medical things why so many doctors who went to medical school constantly tell me is that time of year or sometimes these things just happen. As a parent that's infuriating because I think you spent $$$$$$ on medical school only to become a doctor and tell a peds parent, "Sometimes these things happen with asthmatics." I'm an asthmatic and I'm aware of that but your job is most importantly to medically care for and stabilize him AND in situations where possible, answer parent questions how they can best help their child not continually go through whatever it is. Sorry I went off on a tangent however I get aggravated as a parent because I can't stand him having to go through whatever & being told by a physician BS answers such as these things happened, I decide okay fine I'll go to medical school and figure it out my damn self. Of course by the time I get done, he will likely be long stabilized soooooo.... Anyway I do appreciate you putting out these videos. My thing is as much as I want to be a physician, I'm not great at science which renders my wanting to be a physician daft at best. 🫤🤷🏼‍♀️ Tiffany Dallas, TX

The specialized health science like kinese or athletic training, etc, is low, but the general health science is reasonably high. BSN then working 4-6 years then applying med school, especially in intense specialties like ED or icu is a very viable route Public health public policy is for more of the md phd dual enrollment programs and for nih/cdc type hopefuls

I love tech and would love to try to become a Endocrinologist but I'm a lot older than most people thinking about going back to school. I graduated from high school over 25 years ago and had a few college runs after that. Knowing how hard Med school is and the amount of studying you have to do it makes me wonder if I would even be able to do it. Not to mention balancing a home life where I have a wife and two girls. Guess it's ok to dream.. :D

Hi, My name is Louis, I'm in 10th grade and I'd like to go to Medical school with a finance Pre med degree because I'd like to learn more about money, I found everything about finance interesting, I'd be able to stand out a little bit more than the people who got a Biology degree, I'd be able to learn a lot of skills I would actually need in practice and since finance courses are usually not really difficult, I would have more time to study/focus on the Med school prerequiste and do some volunteer/shadowing hours. Is this a good idea?
@DoctorRex
@DoctorRex 2 года назад
I think that is totally reasonable. But just be very careful about how you "pitch" the finance major in the future and how those skills you would need in practice would be for the purpose of better patient care and not so you just can make more money which some adcoms could potentially assume.

I want to become a doctor but I'm not quite sure what I should major in. I originally was going to choose biology but I found out it doesn't really "matter" what you major in as long as you complete pre-requisites for med school? Correct? I'm now leaning towards business as one of my plans was to one day open my own medical practice. I figured business would help me accomplish this but now I'm not sure if it would be a good choice? Any suggestions
@DoctorRex
@DoctorRex 2 года назад
I've heard very mixed reviews on the usefulness of a business major in general, so take it with a grain of salt how much that will help you in the niche of running a medical practice. I still think majoring in business is a fine idea if that is what you will join, but be very careful to avoid any red flags which make it seem like money is a primary motivating factor toward becoming a doctor which may be an assumption you will have to fight against by some people.

"A little bit harder to tie into medicine." Well what about biophysics and what about proton and electron therapy in oncology? I realize physics may not be heavily applied just yet, but it will be increasingly so. I just saw research that electrons will be used mkre in cancer research. I am not a doctor not physicist but rest assured it physics WILL BE MORE RELEVANT TO MEDICINE. But obviously, it depends. Also a reality is what you said at the end of the video. DO WHATS RIGHT FOR YOUR PATH. I appreciate your input man.
@DoctorRex
@DoctorRex 2 года назад
After I took physics in undergrad, the professor asked to meet with me to try to convince me to major in physics with that argument. I think that is totally a valid point. However, the vast majority of the physics classes you take for that major are not likely to be relevant to proton therapy or radiology. Additionally, it is somewhat embarrassing that the vast majority of radiologists have no clue how an MRI machine actually works and the vast majority of oncologists have a very basic understanding of nuclear physics. So while physics is relevant to medicine, it is harder to tie in to doctoring if that makes sense. In any case, that is still a solid enough tie in and a perfectly reasonable reason to major in physics if that is something you are passionate about and want to be one of the few doctors who truly do understand how that works if as you said, that is your path.

@DoctorRex
@DoctorRex 2 года назад
The idea is probably a balance between standing out and understanding the human body. Everything you need to know about being a doctor you will learn in 4 years of medical school and 3-8 more years of residency/fellowship. Sometimes the point of a major is to learn something outside of medicine so that you can apply that understanding to medicine in a different way than other people will. i.e. I understand how an EKG works on a much different level than 99% of my classmates because of my engineering background. That doesn't mean I know anything more about an EKG that will impact patient care, just different.

In my opinion, I'd rank that the same as Chemistry (Meta). It will help prepare you for some of the most difficult parts of the MCAT and will look good if you have a great GPA. Additionally, a biochem major will very much overprepare you for the biochem you need to learn in medical school. So that may make the first few weeks transitioning to medical school very chill since you are already pretty expert in biochemistry.

Glad you loved the video! Thanks for saying so. Definitely feels a bit odd. I did so very intentionally to remind myself of where I'm heading. You have to be the first person to believe in your future before it happened. I also did so as a long term play to make sure I stick with this channel long enough at least until Doctor is actually a true statement.

Hey Emily, I mention neuroscience at 13:30 as sometimes considered a concentration within psychology. Neuroscience is AWESOME, and I'd put that in meta especially if you are interested in neurology or psychiatry.
