Is anatomy or physiology a prerequisite for medical school? For the vast majority of medical schools, the answer is no. However, some actually require it. To name a few, Creighton University: School of Medicine and the University of Arizona: College of Medicine. If you are applying to a lot of medical schools, like most students do, make sure you a...
Let’s discuss the pros and cons of taking anatomy and physiology before medical school. Starting with the benefits.
It’s possible you might have better uses for your time in undergrad than taking anatomy or physiology. Here are the potential disadvantages if you are struggling with this decision.
You want to take anatomy first. Anatomy is the building block for physiology and it never changes. Physiology on the other hand expects you to have an understanding of the anatomical structures and studies how the human body functions and reacts to different scenarios. In other words, you will have much easier time figuring out the functions of you...
It really depends on where you take it. In Medical School, yes anatomy and physiology are considered difficult courses. Not because the material is hard to understand, but because there is so much information thrown at you in a short period of time. In undergrad, anatomy and physiology can be difficult or rather easy depending on where you take it....
The answer to this question really depends on the individual. Speaking broadly here, anatomy tends to be more about memorization and physiology tends to be more about the application. Generally speaking, most medical school students are better at memorizing and would therefore consider anatomy the easier subject. For me, this was not the case. I am...
As I mentioned earlier, there is anatomy and physiology on the MCAT. So yes, there is a benefit to taking these courses before taking the MCAT. However, even though it’s helpful, doesn’t mean that it’s necessary or even more helpful than other upper level biology courses. Really all the anatomy and physiology on the MCAT is taught during your gener...
Aside from getting into a good college, what you take in high school really doesn’t matter for medical school. If you have the chance to take anatomy in high school, I say go for it. A class like anatomy can really give you an idea of what it is like to study medicine and if it is something you enjoy. There is a huge benefit to learning early on wh...
If you have read this entire article then you can see how the answer to this question is not very straightforward. The reality is that this depends on your specific situation. I will say that I did take anatomy and physiology in undergrad. In retrospect, I believe that anatomy and physiology were not all that helpful for medical school. Not enough ...
Feb 22, 2008 · Having chemistry prior to physio and mciro would be quite helpful, and in fact, my school requires it. I would take either micro or anatomy first, just making sure to have a good base before taking physio, because it's the hardest IMHO. Good luck! Kens. yoginurse2b. 181 Posts.
- HI! My school requires students to take Anatomy. Then Chem to take Physio and Micro. So now I am taking Anatomy because i Havent taken Chem. So far...
- I took human anatomy last semester, and I'm now taking physio and micro together this semester. I remember wondering the same thing so many times w...
- In nursing school, you use A LOT of physiology. So I highly recommend doing your physiology at the very end before getting into nursing school, so...
- I am an Anatomy and Physiology tutor and I tell my students that it would be in their best interest to take Micro before the Anatomy and Phys. Ther...
- Thank you all for the advice and input. I can't begin to tell you how much it helps. Thank you again. :bowingpur
- I had to take A&P I before I could take Micro, the following semester I took Micro with A&P II, crazy I know but it worked lol for me Micro...
- Defienetly take a&p first. I'm taking micro right now and I would be totally lost if I hadn't already taken a&p 1 and 2.
- At my school anatomy is the pre requisite to physio.., and then after you have completed these two you could move on to Microbiology. Alot of thing...
- hmmm.... I would have been totally lost taking micro before a&p. Micro was challenging to me and if I knew very little about biology, that woul...
- I think Micro is best to take last after you finish all other sciences. Since it seems to be a combination of all sciences. I took Bio first, follo...
The first time I took them 11 years ago they were split up between Anatomy and Physiology. When I took them a second time, I took A&P1 and A&P2. I don't really feel that one way was better than another tbh but if I had to pick, I liked doing them separately. It was nice coming into physiology with a really solid anatomy background. But both ...
Physiology was super helpful for the MCAT, and a pre-grounding of physiology has been helpful thus far in the real thing. Reply. [deleted] • 7 yr. ago. If anything anatomy and physiology should be pre-reqs for med school like they are for most PA schools. You really should take them before medical school if you can.
The majority of the people who haven't taken anatomy yet are failing miserably. Those who aren't failing are having to put in an insane amount of hours studying compared to those who have. My University has them combined. Physiology in lecture (3 times a week) then anatomy in lab (once a week).

You don’t need anatomy and physiology for med school but it can bring some benefits when taking both courses in your first couple of years studying medicine. Repeated exposure is one of the best ways to master a subject! Image Credit – @aggergakker at Unsplash. Will.
