Possibly some of the foreign schools, but you need two semesters at least to have the knowledge base to pass the physics portion of the MCAT, and quite likely will need that level of understanding for many of the concepts IN medical school.
You might want to sign up for a semester at a community college or jr college to get some concepts and confidence under your belt before signing up for it at your primary institution.

actually a lot of medical schools are willing to let you in medical school without the physics background as long as you take physics in your first year of med school. However, that doesnt excuse you from the physics portion of the MCATs and you would still have to take physics in med school.

University of Hong Kong, where I study now =P
But is an entire year of physics really that hard? I survived through 5 years anyway...

Just take a complete year of physics. You will need that knowledge for the MCAT anyway.

It would have to be a bad one! You need to understand physics in order to understand a lot of medicine and science .... so just suck it up, take physics and get it over with!

it depends were you are living . in some countries you just need money to enter a good medical school.

you need to be able to understand physics to do medecine, and maths and chemistry and biology- it's a difficult course to do!
