Anything science related. Advanced Biology/Chem courses would help. My school used to offer Anatomy, don't know about yours...

You're going to be a doctor and you don't even know what to learn about? Biology and medicine, for starters.

Kinesiology is a major one, but it might not be offered at your school...

Most colleges are looking for science, math, and english courses.
Advanced Biology, Chemistry, Statistics, Calculus, and English Language are all important, but it may not be enough in competitive Universities.

Biology, and anything biology related.
No, I'm kidding, go for History and English literature, that's going to help you become a doctor.
If you couldn't figure this out, then you, by no means, have a 167 IQ.

I am also amazed your school lets you pick your classes this close to the school year. We had to select our classes for this year sometime last winter.

You should have probably thought about this freshman year. Anyway, take as many sciences as you can.
Talk to your school advisor or counselor.

Biology, Chemistry, Intro to Organic Chem if your school has it, and English.
Why? From what I've learned shadowing, doctors write a lot of reports.

Nah, not really. Doctors normally just orally tape their reports and get Medical Transcriptionists to write for them.

FYI, taking courses related to your major is not necessary in high school. That's what college is for. Just worry about graduating and getting into a good college.

Still, learning what you can of the human body still helps. Anatomy still helps if it's offered.

For certain courses in university, you do need a background in the subject. For example, if someone did very poorly in math and didn't do it senior year, they can't go to university to take advanced maths.

For example, if someone did very poorly in math and didn't do it senior year, they can't go to university to take advanced maths.This is true, however if someone does not get satisfactory grades in math, they would realize this and 99% of the time would have no will to pursue a Math major. Also, the first few years of college are standard courses in which your major is irrelevant. This person who wanted a math major could sign-up for these courses and get straight A's, rendering his high school grades insignificant. (Which is why working on getting into a good college should be your number 1 priority.)

Also, Latin can help greatly in the medical field.

Just try your best and complete all the basic highschool requirements. Once, you get to college then that is when to start thinking about which courses to take for your major.
Also, doctor is too general. There are so many majors that can become doctor.

I fail to see the logic here.
Knowing the latin name of each and every body part, bone and disease doesn't actually help you.
