With maths and biology, you could go into epidemiology as a statistician. Among the jobs this person does is to figure out how diseases spread (mathematically, by making infection maps), finding the probability that a certain virus or bacteria will spread and how quickly, and other support functions for places like the CDC, hospitals, medical schools and private companies. You could also teach--there is a shortage of both math and science teachers nationwide. Also, Pharmaceutical or Pharmacists field are always strong for maths and biology majors.

If you are interested in pre-health careers (medicine, dental, etc.), I think Physics is a requirement in university. I don't know about other fields, but I would think science related careers may require at least one semester in Physics.

Yep Premed, dental track require at least one semester in Physics... Most of the Universities do... I don't know if you need Physics if you're thinking of going into the research field..

You don't need Physics for Medicine - Biology and Chemistry is required for that... so if u r doing Chemistry as well then Medicine is an option

It depends on where you are living. In the US, Physics is a prerequisite. You have to take at least one semester of Physics as part of pre-medicine in the undergrad, no matter what your major is.
