Is it more benefical for a Pre-med student to take one quarter of biochem or 2 quarters?

There is a choice of taking a quarter of biochemistry which is an overview of the subject or the series (2-3 quarters) it's more detailed or incorporates molecular biology.
Answers:
Depends on the specialty that you want to go into. You need to take the full series though. If you are on quarters, it will be 3 classes, if you are on semesters it will be two classes. Also make sure that it is a lab class, and that it fulfills the requirements of the medical schools that you are applying to.If you want to do internal medicine or pathology, take more. Interested in orthopaedics take more physics. Talk to your adviser.
There is no easy way to do med school. Take 2 quarters at least. It will help to make you a better MD through better understanding of what is happening in the human body.
2quarters definitely.The more you get to know,the better you become.
