@22gthumb @ang3l0nline I’d blame lack of exposure over atheism. Study the life sciences and nature and you’ll find unparalleled beauty in the molecular mechanics and processes that support and create life. You don’t need to be religious to appreciate the “beauty” of the world.
@151Call@DellAnnaLuca In my experience as both someone who has a medical degree and majored in biochemistry: Irrelevant to medical practice as a physician: Analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, most upper class chemistry courses. Evolution, plant biochemistry.
@151Call@DellAnnaLuca Premed coursework (the specific courses) is MCAT/med school relevant. Premed isn’t a degree, just admission requirements. But a full bio or biochem degree includes plenty that’s irrelevant to med school curriculum.
@151Call@DellAnnaLuca Honestly you take the pre med track to pass the MCAT. A lot of the typical bachelor degree course work an average pre med will take is irrelevant to medical school curriculum.
@151Call@DellAnnaLuca In regards to the MCAT you’re right, but that is by design. My point is all of the relevant science you need to know to make it in med school you will cover in the first year of medical school. First semester of med school is the “Foundational sciences.”
@MatthewPFoley1@joeroganhq There are limitations to medicine obviously. But for starters not everyone has the same access to quality health care. Not everyone has a good diet and good levels of physical activity. Some people have chronic diseases that can only be managed and not cured.
