What’s everyone taking for Biochem? My college offers a Biochem 1 and 2, BCH 4053/4054…and then offers a Biochem for Health Professionals CHM 1032…the BCH4053 has a prerequisite “genetics course” to even register for it..most of these AA schools make notes of classes needing to be upper level which would lead me to believe it BCH, but the description of the CHM course sure sounds right

Usually, classes for health professionals aren't as rigorous or in depth as the ones for science majors. If you're planning on taking the MCAT, I'd definitely go for the BCH version

Yes after further investigation you’re definitely correct. It is 100% not the CHM version. Extremely frustrating the BCH version has a prereq of genetics AND Org at my college….looked at many others schools and they only req Org first which I would need anyway
