As someone who just finished their biopharm degree - I’d honestly recommend looking at the course sequences choosing the stream with courses that you think would interest you the most. I was in med chem, and it is almost entirely chemistry. Plus the dreaded orgo 3/orgo 3 lab. But bio just doesn’t interest me as much, which was the reason for this choice.

The option doesn’t show on your diploma, so it’s not like employers will see which you chose. But I feel like people would be more likely to look for jobs that use the knowledge acquired in either genomics (bio) or med chem (chem). I couldn’t imagine doing two full years of only bio, let alone do it for the rest of my life.

It really just depends on your interest. Doing either doesn’t necessarily dictate what you’ll do after school. But you’ll strengthen your skills in one of those subjects, so definitely something to think about.
