Like including nutritionist (even they probably just recited the food pyramid), nursing, dietitian? Do they all have to go through the typical 4-yr biochem procedure in other to be a certified prfoession?
flyingpig said:No I mean like to become a dietitian, a nutritionist, or nursing, do you need calculus or higher math and biochem? Basically following the 4-yr college procedure doing calc -> muticalc -> Linear ALgebra -> ODE -> some other math and biocehm courses?
Yes, math is an essential component in all medical fields. From calculating dosages to analyzing data, math plays a crucial role in many aspects of medical practice.
Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes within living organisms, and it is directly related to medicine as it helps us understand the chemical basis of diseases and how drugs interact with the body.
One example is in pharmacology, where math is used to calculate the appropriate dosage of a medication for a patient based on their weight, age, and other factors.
While some medical professionals may not use math and biochemistry on a daily basis, a basic understanding of these subjects is necessary for all medical professionals to provide high-quality care to their patients.
No, all medical fields require at least a basic understanding of math and biochemistry. Even fields such as psychology and social work, which may not seem as math-intensive, still rely on these subjects for research and data analysis.
