I'm not sure what grade level you're in. As you might already know, Medical school is a separate 7-year program after undergraduate. So, before enrolling in medical school, you should be preparing for the majors first. Public health, psychology, and biochemistry are some popular choices for med students. A college student, on the other hand, can choose any major for entering medical school.
