aerospace medicine

I'm currently undergoing my gcses (yup havin a great time) and i have aspirations of becoming a flight surgeon in nasa so like specialise in aerospace medicine and I am not sure on what A-Levels i need to be choosing and what sort of degree i have to do like what sort of qualifications i need and stuff. At the moment, as A-Levels i chose biology,Chemistry and computer. So is that ok? or do i need to change my options and what should my career path be in general (like what should i do in uni and stuff)

Hello very interesting field. You need to go through regular medical school first then you can study aerospace medicine as a postgraduate degree. So A levels should include chemistry, biology and one other science. You can learn more about the degree here: Aerospace Medicine - King's College London (kcl.ac.uk)
