What is the trend for BSc Clearly-Ins?

What majors should we choose if we plan to continue into post-graduate medicine afterwards?

Any should suffice. Just make sure you do the prereqs.

However, Human Structure and Function would be good?

[Biceps]

Oh ok what would help with GAMSAT?

[sluu001]

Bio-medicine or a science degree with a health science/biology major. Keep in mind that i you wish to pursue a MD at melb, you will need to be doing a health science degree WITH the relevant prerequisite subjecta satisfied. I suggest checking out the handbook on the university website.

[thushan]

Even a regular science degree with prereqs would suffice, yes?

As long as you do the pre-requisites you will be OK - i.e. 2nd year anatomy, biochemistry and physiology. You technically don't have to do any specific major, you also don't have to do any specific degree, as long as you meet those pre-reqs.

It's unlikely your major will help you for the GAMSAT at all.
Not that it really matters, but majors that offer better preparation than others would be microbiology/immunology and pathology. Maybe anatomy, especially for clinical stuff. Otherwise it's really much the same.

Not Human Structure and Function.

How come? - just curious

[stonecold]

Because it is a dead end major.  There is virtually no research opportunities in anatomy, so if you don't get into med you are effectively screwed.
You have very little chance of finding an honours project as an anatomy student.
Moreover, if you plan to do med, you will learn all of the anatomy in med anyway so you should take something else which interests you and has decent career prospects just in case you don't make it.

(even an anatomy lecturer at uni told many of us not to major in anatomy)

[thushan]

What about other health science courses such as Dent, Physio, Optometry, etc?

[paulsterio]

Major in Maths (seriously, it's a good major)

no pracs/labs, low attendance requirements...etc.

I agree with what this guy said.

[Biceps]

Wouldn't med be hard if we don't take subjects like anatomy, immunology, etc...

You HAVE TO take anatomy.
