Psychology or Neuroscience Major?

<p>Either psychology or neuroscience could be an excellent pre-med major.
Even if you don’t major in neuroscience, you can still take relevant electives as a psychology major. Although a neuroscience major is particularly suitable for pre-meds who eventually want to go into psychiatry, other aspects of psychology are not irrelevant to medicine and psychiatry. Though some other posters noted that psychology is often studied from a social science perspective, many subfields of psychology (apart from neuroscience) fall into natural science category.</p>

<p>See my post in this thread for one way a math background might be useful in medicine and for some links on careers in math:

<p>Math also is good in combination with psychology, though probably less relevant for a career in medicine or psychiatry.
