It should be no problem. The most important thing for med school is not what you major in, but that you fulfill all the course prerequisites - take a look at some med schools you may be interested in, or talk to your advisor and career counseling services once you get to campus, to make sure your bases are covered. And make sure that you show a passion for medicine outside your studies: volunteer in a hospital, do research, etc.

Medicine and journalism may not be as far apart as you think they are… have you considered becoming a medical writer, or a science journalist?
