Wow I have never seen a school with so many electives. You have some cool options.
I am currently an eighth grader next year is my first year of high school.

most of the schooling for medicine happens in college, but you can prep yourself to take those kinds of classes in college (like bio and chemistry) by taking a rigorous science schedule in high school. beyond that "medical careers & personal wellness" seems like an obvious one to me. maybe less obviously, "multi-genre writing" might be a good option—medical writing is a really important skill for doctors and others in medicine, and medical schools will actually look for writing ability and knowledge alongside the sciences.

What year are you? When I created my high school schedule I didn't know what I wanted to major in and what I wanted to do in my career so I took a variety of classes and have now decided on pursuing becoming a doctor after taking Principles of Health and Honors Anatomy and Physiology in junior year. In your case, I think you should take some medical courses such as Medical Careers & Personal Wellness and CPR, AED, Community First Aid & Safety. Other than that, take classes you're interested in.
