Can you get through a medical education without any knowledge of physics and biochemistry?

Question

I found a way to get into a foreign medical school. I don't have physics or biochemistry but do I really need these to get through medical education?

I thought physics and orgo were "weed-out" classes designed to make the applicant pool smaller...at least here in the US.

Answer 1

Without a Biochemistry class, how would you know anything about how the human body functons on a cellular level? Knowledge about the individual parts that make up a human body are absolutely essential to understanding it. Medicine and Biochemistry are intertwined and it is necessary to take one with the other. Physics is a nice background class to have and may help on occasion but is not as important to have under your belt.
