Applying to Medicine: Recommended Courses and Indigenous Studies Minor?

OK, so I want to apply to the Faculty of Medicine; however, I’m uncertain about which courses will be the most appropriate. I know there are a few mandatory courses that will benefit me during the MCAT, and I’m thinking about taking an ethics course to help with the CASPer test. For those of you who have applied to the Faculty of Medicine, what were some of the steps you took that you found most beneficial after being accepted? I know this program is highly competitive, but I want to do my best to stand out as an applicant. I also want to find a way to educate myself in ways that benefit both the community and my academics. I plan to major in Health Sciences and minor in Indigenous Studies. However, many people have suggested that I shouldn’t take Indigenous Studies as a minor, even though the majority of our population is indigenous based. I want to provide adequate healthcare, ideally in northern regions, and have a proper understanding of their culture and beliefs so that I can help them in many different ways.

Thank you all for your insight. I appreciate it. Ultimately, I will be seeking advice from an academic advisor currently wanted to observe others opinions
