Is High-School Physics required as a path to be a doctor or medical career?

I took Grade 10 Science Academic in The summer before grade 10 So i'm currently taking Grade 11 biology - University level. I plan to be either a doctor, or an accountant... Still undecided however for my grade 11 courses, is physics required to be a doctor? Here are my courses for grade 11 =0 Our school is term- which sucks... I prefer semester tho =S Eng - University 11 Math - University 11 Exercise Science - University Grade 12 (Like Biology) Chemistry - University 11 Biology - University 12 Computer Graphics - 11 Gym Fitness Accounting - University 11 However I made plans in the summer, probably going to take accounting in the summer... Or Biology 12... Or both... So I'm probably going to have my guidance counsellor swap out accounting for physics if needed for next years timetable Also is it a good idea to have Biology 12 taken in summer school? The final most important Question... IS PHYSICS NEEDED TO BECOME DOCTOR OR A MEDICAL CAREER

1. Physics is not needed to be a doctor per se. First you need to major in something. Then after you get your bachelor's. You can apply to a medical school for nursing, doctor, anything.
2. it would be helpful to know some basic idea of physics, but no it wouldn't be required or needed for you to be a doctor. But biology and chemistry on the other hand, they are very important because they go hand in hand. I would talk to your counselor and see what he/she has to say.
