	I was wondering several things first of which I am interested in the medical field and things dealing with and incorporating multiple interest such as psychology, ethics, theory, human advancement and genetics and came upon this site and was curious? also I was concerned about two things one being I have a movement disorder characterized as ?essential tic? that would or might prevent me from a career needing fine coordination and the second being I am quite horrible in math and wondered how much and which areas of math are used (calculus, algebra, statistics ect..) in the genetics field? I have been interested in medicine for as long as I can remember and would love to incorporate my various interests into one field of study. I am interested in psychology, ethics, writing, eugenics, theory, philosophy, and medicine. Is there a field or a career that may be suited best for me in genetics or any medical field?
