All in the title, which subjects should be completed for undergrad and grad med?
Also for GAMSAT, is it a disadvantage to not have done physics or bio?

For Monash Med, the prerequisite is a 30 raw in chem and 30 raw in English (35 raw in EAL).
Other than that, there aren't any specifically required subjects for undergrad med (although not too sure about grad med).
Also, if you don't do Bio and get into undergrad med, you must do a Bio bridging course during the holidays.

It’s probably also a good idea to do Methods so you can get into biomed as a backup

sarangiya:
There are no VCE prerequisites for post-graduate medicine.
At the University of Melbourne, there are prerequisite undergraduate subjects.
They are 2nd-year anatomy, physiology and biochemistry.
Therefore, the possible subjects are:
Bachelor of Science
Principles of Human Structure (ANAT20006)
Human Physiology (PHYS20008)
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BCMB20002)

Bachelor of Biomedicine (these are core subjects within the course so you get no choice but to do them)
Human Structure and Function (BIOM20002)
Molecular and Cellular Biomedicine (BIOM20001)

And, as you'll find, a Bachelor of Science at Melbourne requires chemistry and methods as a VCE prerequisite.
Therefore, chemistry is a definite must for undergraduate medicine as well as for undergraduate courses that are likely to get you into postgraduate medicine. Methods is required for other undergraduate medical degrees outside Melbourne, as well as for relevant undergraduate pre-med degrees.
Therefore, I would recommend chemistry and methods at the least.

And even if you're not aiming for Biomed, still a good idea to do Methods. There's enough maths in med to warrant it.
