I just looked at the syllabus for The Univ. of Florida Medical School for years 1 through 4. They do not take any of the courses you've mentioned while they are in medical school. Are you saying that they shouldn't have to take these courses in High School? If the standard dose of a drug for an adult male is 4mg/kg, then how much drug should be prescribed to a 200 pound man who has reduced kidney function? Go ahead and figure that out without using basic math skills. And, why would you deny a doctor the skills needed to not only enjoy art or music, but to understand why. I don't use my art appreciation course when I practice pharmacy, but I am grateful that I took it. Many times when people are in High School or taking undergraduate courses in College, they are not sure if they want to become doctors. That' what that period is for, to figure out who you are and what you want to do.
