This varies from medical school to medical school.
I attended a rather old fashioned one. There are much more up to date curriculums than the one I studied, but mine included:
Yr 1
Anatomy & Histology
Biology
Physics
Chemistry
Behavioural Science
Genetics
Statistics
Yr 2 & 3
Anatomy & Histology
Biochemistry
Genetics
Physiology
Pharmacology
Microbiology
Yr 3 also had introduction to clinical skills
Yr 4
Hospital rotations
Medicine (various subspecialties)
Surgery (various subspecialties)
Psychiatry
Pathology
and miscellaneous areas - usually outpatient departments - ophthalmology, ENT clinic, etc.
Yr 5
Hospital rotations
Medicine (various subspecialties)
Surgery (various subspecialties)
Obstetrics and Gynaecology
Paediatrics
Pathology
PBL
Yr 6
Hospital rotations
Medicine (various subspecialties)
Surgery (various subspecialties)
Paediatrics
Pathology
PBL
Emergency / Early Management of Severe Trauma
These days they have shorter curricula suitable for post-graduates who already have good study habits. They are strongly based around Problem Based Learning or some similar concept where people are taught a general approach and expected to go away and learn about stuff by themselves.

The MD [program requires at least 130 weeks of instruction (LCME Criterion). California requires a curriculum of 4 academic years totaling 36 months or 3 calendar years. Year 1 & 2 are for basic sciences and clinical subjects (Anatomy, Physiology, Histology, Pathology, Immunology, Biochemistry, Introduction to Health and disease, critical thinking, patient's assessment, etc.. A medical student in CA must have 72 weeks of clinical rotations: Surgery, Internal medicine, Pediatrics, Obst.Gyn, Psychiatry. For more information go to Google and search Medical Schools curriculum. Best wishes. The next 10 yrs the USA there will have a shortage of MD's and we will need a lot of youngers MD's as many older ones are retiring and enjoying life right now!! What's up Doc?

Don't worry about what subjects you have to take or how long med school will take. You should be more concerned about GETTING IN to one.

In this world everything works based on Maths, to understand certain things down the line, you should know basic maths irrespective of your specialization :)
