As suggested Math and Science but make sure that your science is biology but also chemistry and it will help out greatly. Once you are old enough to work go and take a course to become a Certified Nursing Assistant this will help you get a job in medicine and you can get a feeling for it. Mind you it is not the same as being a nurse but will put you in the enviroment, let you experience the terminologies and basic patient care. Keep on asking questions and getting advice and you will do great, when you get ready to start high school go to your local college and set up an appt with an advisor and ask them to help you figure out what courses will be most beneficial for you to take.

You can get a drug book @ your local bookstore or if they don't carry it go to a college bookstore and they will for sure. As far as the lab book you would have to go to a hospital and see if someone from the lab would be willing to supply you with one or you could write to Quest or LabCorp those are the two major lab companies and ask if they would provide you one. And again your local hospital radiology dept should be able to provide information on the test they do. Good luck.

I have done this exact job and know how overwhelming it can seem at first. The only reference material I could tell you to look at would be know your medical terminology, know labs (ask the lab for their book it explains what all the labs are and what they are for, I found this invaluable.) know radiology test, and get a drug book for the medications this will help you decipher some of your orders. Most of what you will learn will be from just doing it, but if you get to know some of the above things it will make your job a lot easier. Good luck.
