premed
Aspiring doctor's track
Premed is short for premedical, describing undergraduate coursework and students preparing for medical school.
A premed student—or simply a premed—takes the required biology, chemistry, and physics courses needed for admission.
The term often carries connotations of intense competition and academic pressure: The premed track is notoriously cutthroat.
