anatomy and physiology required for admission to dentistry?

[pelicanprentice]

i am looking to apply to schools in usa, ireland, australia, and new zealand. i am currently in a bsc chemistry.

 

it seems like some schools require microbiology, anatomy, and physiology.

i am taking microbiology for sure because its required at a school im interested in but is anatomy/physilogy necessary? 

 

thanks

From my experience:

Most American schools require: Intro Bio, Intro Chem, Intro Physics, Orgo, English, Biochem, sometimes micro, sometimes math/calc (not physio or anatomy although "recommended")
 

Ireland: No specific requirements but level of difficulty of degree is a factor. (Cork has a list of concepts they want covered that are covered by prereqs and you have to say which of your courses covered them (courses relevent to bio, chem, orgo, anat, physio, pathology)
