For a medicine pathway, you should choose Biology rather than Economics. Medicine relies heavily on subjects like biology and chemistry to understand the human body, diseases, and treatments. While Economics can be useful later for healthcare management or public health, it does not prepare you for medical studies or entrance exams. Taking Biology, along with Chemistry and optionally Math, provides the strongest foundation for a successful career in medicine. https://www.sehn.org/ecological-medicine

Because acupuncture originated in China and was slow to become utilized and well known in western cultures.

The main difference between western and eastern medicine is that western medicine is scientifically proven to work. Eastern medicine may be said by some to work but does not have the backing of real science. Since acupuncture has not been a proven method for any affliction and is not held to the same standards as scientifically effective methods/medicine, it cannot be considered scientifically sound and is therefore considered Eastern Medicine.
