The same can be said for radiologists, oncologists and other specialists whose fields draw more direct parallels with physics as a subject. Most of the time? Obviously patients may get more peace of mind believing their doctors are experts in physics especially those performing minimal access surgery for example , but the truth is that most doctors and med students only have a superficial understanding at best.
Nurses probably need physics even less than doctors. Often their role is more about care giving rather than diagnostic assessment. Having a high school background in physics can make applicants to nursing courses more competitive as can any hard science — chemistry, biology etc.
A more general answer is similar to that of doctors; a dependence on physics depends on the role. Military nurses dealing with trauma who are expected to perform minor surgeries could benefit from a solid understanding of physics. Birmingham Chemistry and Biology.

King's College London Biology and Chemistry You will be required to pass the practical endorsement in all science subjects. Leeds Chemistry or Biology. While General Studies and Critical Thinking are welcomed as a 4th A2, they do not typically form part of an offer.
Only one of Mathematics and Further Mathematics count towards your potential offer. This is the case with Biology and Human Biology too. Lincoln Biology or Human Biology and Chemistry, a pass is required in science practicals. Liverpool Chemistry together with either Biology, Physics or Mathematics and any third academic subject.
Practical science elements must also be passed. Offers will not include combinations of very similar subjects, such as Biology and Human Biology or Maths and Further Maths together.
Critical Thinking, Citizenship, EPQ, Key Skills or General Studies - although taken in addition to three suitable academic subjects could help strengthen your application.
Science subjects must include a pass in the practical element. If a practical component forms part of any of the A-levels taken, we expect candidates to have taken it and passed. Critical Thinking or General Studies. The third subject can be from any subject area including the humanities, languages, music, sport, science and the social sciences. Mathematics and Further Mathematics cannot be counted together. The combination of Chemistry and Biology is acceptable.
Southampton Biology and one additional science, with a pass in any practical elements. There is no preference for the third subject. Phil Everson. Any English course listed in the catalog may be used to satisfy this requirement. Occasionally, students may be able to use a literature in translation course for some medical schools, but this is not recommended, because some medical schools are real sticklers about their requirements.
Some medical schools will accept an English literature AP credit; others will not. It is best to take two English courses, because then the student will have fulfilled the requirement for any medical school. The English requirement does not have to be completed before taking the MCAT exam, since there are no specific questions about this area on the exam.
To prepare for the new version of the MCAT, students are advised to take an introductory course in psychology and sociology or anthropology, as the exam will include a social sciences section. One very common problem is that students are anxious to get their pre-med requirements "out of the way," so they take too many lab courses at once, and do poorly. Once this occurs, it becomes very difficult for them to attain the strong science foundation and high grade point average that are required to get into medical school.
Only strong science students, with good high school preparations, should be encouraged to take more than one lab course per semester in their first year.
Students hoping to attend medical school right after graduation must finish their science courses by the end of their junior year and take the MCAT exam by summer after junior year, and apply that June. However, the average age of students starting medical school is now 24, so students should not necessarily feel that they must rush to start school right away.
One very feasible option for students is to spread their requirements over all four years, taking the MCATs and applying at the end of their senior year, to begin medical school 15 months after graduation. This allows students a much-needed break between Swarthmore and medical school, as well as gives students the chance to spread out their lab sciences, study abroad, and take advantage of other opportunities at Swarthmore.
It also means that their senior grades will be part of their application, which usually means a higher GPA. The Health Sciences Advising office supports alums in the application process, so students should not worry that they will be losing support or services if they wait to apply, even if it is several years.
Students may also take pre-medical requirements at summer school, as long as they attend an accredited four-year U. Students should first consult with the corresponding Swarthmore department if they hope to transfer the credits to Swarthmore, but it is not necessary for Swarthmore to grant credit for the course to count for medical school.
Taking summer courses is another way in which students can complete the requirements in a reasonable way, as well as have time at Swarthmore to pursue a non-science major, study abroad, or pursue other interests. At least one upper-level or course in the Humanities or Social Sciences Suggested Schedule for Recommended Pre-Med Courses Following this schedule for pre-med courses should allow you to successfully incorporate your general education and major courses to graduate in four years.
