Medical scientists perform diagnostic tests of blood, tissues and other bodily fluids to help doctors diagnose diseases such as glandular fever, diabetes, swine flu and even cancer. Medical scientists can also recommend treatment options and help manage clinical trials.
In this degree, you will develop the knowledge and skills to work as a medical scientist. In your first year, you will take courses in chemistry, cell biology, anatomy and physiology. You will learn about the body's structure, how it functions under normal circumstances and general health challenges. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
An assumed knowledge of Maths B (4SA) and one of Biology, Chemistry, or Physics is highly recommended. |
