The best course is to be well-rounded, show proficiency in all subjects and to excel in the courses prescribed for medical admissions.
Baccalaureate coursework must include:
1 year general chem (with lab)
1 year organic chem (with lab)
1 year general biology (with lab)
1 year intro. physics (with lab)
1 year English
1 year calculus
Suggested coursework includes: psychology, statistics, biochemistry, humanities.
You can major in any subject provided you complete the above list. Many schools favor students who study things other than biology or chemistry because it shows they don't have one-track minds.
In addition to your coursework, you should demonstrate wide interests in your extra-curriculuar activities. That means you should have research experience, clinical volunteership AND something totally unrelated (I used to help operate a student computer lab).
Assuming you are an American or Canadian student, having all these things together will make you look good to medical schools.
