A levels for medicine

[catbirddogchild]

Hi,
My DS ( currently year 10) is interested in doing medicine.
He is top of year in most subjects especially science and maths etc.
The issue is he is still quite young and not 100% on what he wants to do really.
Would doing chemistry, physics , maths and possibly further maths but not biology be a bad idea?
It would keep other doors more open to him such as engineering ect
Realistically do applicants get in medicine places without biology?

Not sure students deliberately forget stuff. They have to cram a lot in to pass exams and like everything, unless you use it, you lose it. Unis understand that students will all come to them with different knowledge basis, even if they've done the same A levels they'll cover different stuff with different boards. So most courses will cover basic stuff in year 1.

I mean they are really useful for practicing medicine. The job does involve lots of maths, and certain areas a good understanding of physics helps ie ventilation as one example.
But I would think someone not overly keen on physics probably wouldn't want to work in intensive care and someone who doesn't enjoy talking to patients probably avoids psychiatry. Well as much as they can that is.
I assume all medical schools want a good mix of candidates to fit the different roles?
