Lesson Notes
Strengthening Your Foundation in Science for Med School
Building a solid foundation now will make applying new information you learn in medical school to clinical practice much easier.
While it may seem intuitive why Bio/Biochem is important for future doctors, what about Chem/ Phys?
The body's biological phenomena are governed entirely by chemistry and physics.
Physics is key to understanding the body.
What about chemistry?
