Well, to become a doctor, Medical Anthropology is the only choice you have. You'll study how to address the wellness of people within the context of cultural, historical, and political forces.
Biological/Physical Anthropology and Forensic Anthropology are also great choices in my opinion, if you're looking for a pre-med field.
