What is the best business course that i should take that will help me land a degree in medicine?

i need units in biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics and social sciences. my dad wants me to take up banking, but i really want to be a doctor... help please...

You know Elle, there are no best business courses that will help you land a degree in medicine.

I wonder why you ask this question?

Pursue the medicine studies. Take what you have to take. Study some business for background only. Don't get too involved in it in undergrad. Econ and maybe a finance course with an emphasis on investing. You could take accounting, but it's really a waste of time if your going to be a doctor, because nowadays, the stuff's all computerized, and does the accounting work for you.

If you want to know business, study it on your own. If you read the Wall Street Journal 3 times a week, you'll know all you need to know. And you don't have to study a lot of business classes to work at a bank either, especially for entry level positions. Just ask any banker. They will teach you what you need to know if you have some potential. Tell your father that if the medicine things falls through, you can always get a job at a bank.

Live your own life, and do your own thing, not your parents' thing.

Well if you are young and smart - you can do both.

MD, MBA - is a very powerful multidisciplinary career - you could specialize in hospital management/finance, biotech management/finance.

For the course of business the best bet would be to go by what YOU love to do - it will still be hard work - but you will have fun and passion for it.

If I were you I would consider Marketing. But there's also Finance / Management. (I would be the worst imaginable manager)

I don't know how your college works, but at my University you can be pre-med but major in anything you want. Being pre-med just means that you're taking the required courses to get into medical school. It's a curriculum that lasts your first 2 years, and you just take Chemistry, Bio, Physics and electives like English. But you can major in anything else because the last 2 years are free for whatever you want. If you really wanted to please your dad, you can major in Business or Banking and still do Pre-Med.

There is none! but I agree with Naturalway48 - MBBS & MBA are such strong a combination.... But I suggest you follow your heart and go to do med. science does not mix with business course subjects! So options are 1. face facts and chose between, 2. follow your heart and do med, 3. if you are clever do both! good luck.
