Do you seriously need calculus for Med/PA school?

I think the big misconception is that math for medicine is mostly statistical methods, like normal distributions/ chi squared distributions, some amount of chemistry related math, like molar concentrations, and lots of arithmetic.

I don’t think medicine uses calculus in the way or an engineer or physicist would use it. There are probably less than 1% of physicians that can solve the three dimensional Schrodinger Equation.
