Biomedical Science

[esthertham58]

Hi Everyone,
  Sorry if I am posting at the wrong forum, but seeing that there are people here interested in doing graduate medicine I decided to post.
   I am interested in doing Biomedical Science at Monash this year. If I have an planning to do graduate medicine in the future, what electives do you guys recommend me to do? From the monash website I know that I can only choose electives starting with the prefixes BCH, BME, DEV, GEN, HUP, IMM, MIC, MIS, PHA and PHY. From the atar notes forum, I know that CHM 1011 and CHM 1022 is recommended. Is there any other electives that are popular among aspiring graduate medical students?
2. Do biomedical students have to take electives  ( Monash)?
3.   Can biomedical students major/ minor in certain units?
4. I'm also aware that it is good to have back up plans just in case I don't get into graduate med. At this time, I'm considering to do a nutrition elective during my first year biomedicine degree to get a feel of it ( as doing the Master of Dietetics is my back up plan). Would this be a good idea?

Thanks so much for answering!
