Pre-Med really only needs to mean taking the required courses for Medical School acceptance (typically 5 classes). Many people apply to medical school without even majoring in a science. Often the most compelling candidates are those who followed a passion outside of the norm and bring a true sense of self to the table. Also, students who study what they enjoy (science or otherwise) are the most likely to do well in their classes and, therefore, have the GPA necessary for Medical School acceptance. If studying abroad is how your child wishes to spend a semester then, by all means, encourage him to do so!
