Valerie’s Answer

Hi Henry,
I am currently in medical school. We do not have any math classes. We take anatomy and biochemistry, and they go through all the systems of the body (pulmonary, neurology, cardiology, etc) However, to get into medical school you will have need to have taken calculus, physics, and statistics.
Best of luck!

Estelle’s Answer

No math classes, but my son in medical school is studying equations that calculate kidney function. You need to understand math to understand the equations.

Kei’s Answer

Hi Henry! There are math subjects in any field but if this is not your major, you will only have the basics. In the medical field, I would say you will still have Calculus, Basic Math and a little Statistics. Hope that helps!

Rachel’s Answer

No math classes in medical school, but you still have to have retained a basic knowledge of math to get through your math courses. Simple calculations will need to be performed on a regular basis.

Calculus in college is a pre med requirement.
