In the United States the path to becoming and studying for medicine involves many steps. American medical and osteopathic schools for the Doctor of Medicine or Osteopathy (MD or DO) require a bachelors degree as minimums. The area of study can be in any major such as in the liberal arts, and not just the hard sciences. However applicants are expected/required to complete one year of basic Biology, two years of chemistry between inorganic and organic, and one year of physics. Some universities require the completion of calculus or statistics. Finally applicants must sit for the MCAT examination, which can be a grueling all day battery if tests. The scores of the MCAT are used towards competitive admissions.
