Why is A level chemistry more important than biology for med school?

Thread Starter Why is A level chemistry more important than biology for med school? Follow 1 hour ago 1 hour ago In the absence of evidence I'd be inclined to agree that it is more useful. In terms of having that fundamental understanding of science before being taught the actual medicine, i do think chemistry is the most useful science. If you aren't familiar with what e.g. ions are, or hydrophobia/hydrophillia, its hard to then build a good underlying understanding of physiology, and without that you may as well put everyone on a 2 year PA course and save a load of money.
