How can you safely prescribe drugs, understand blood tests or sterilization procedures without a working knowledge of chemistry? There is a lot of chemistry in Biology classes too, especially at the cellular level.

∙ 2006-04-28 20:32:25Yes; in order to get into medical school, you must take two semesters of inorganic chemistry and two semesters of organic chemistry in college (in addition to other premed requirements). In medical school, you take classes that also require a knowledge of chemistry such as biochemistry. Hope this helps! Dr. B
What courses do you take in universities to become a pediatrician?

To be a pediatrician you have to take many exams, and you have to continue taking exams to maintain your license.
AP biology and AP chemistry,

Because biology is the study of how life works, in this case how the human body works.
12 years college, internship
you have to take care of kids
you have take biology, chemistry, English, and psycholgy and college preparatory classes in high school. You also have to earn a four year doctor of medicine or doctor of osteopathy along with at least three years of residency training to become a very good and successful pediatrician.
There are no major requirements to become a pediatrician...theoretically, you could major in underwater basket-weaving and still become a pediatrician. What you do have to concern yourself with is meeting the minimum requirements for medical school. So, while you are in college, you must (for most medical schools) take 2 semesters each of biology, chemistry, organic chemistry and physics (and it doesn't hurt to take other advanced science courses like microbiology, anatomy and biochemistry). Nonetheless, when you are closer to your decision, make sure to contact the schools, that you are considering, to make sure that you have fulfilled all of their requirements.
