There are specific requirements.
BA/BS degree - check. Met by holding a TESC degree
Science- check. Not met through TESC degree.
Where are you at in the process, I can help you get started on a path, but you won't be able to ONLY use TESC. You'll have to outsource your sciences at a minimum. Also, it's HIGHLY likely that you'll run into MD schools which won't accept distance sciences, so you'll either have to apply to DO programs or do sciences in person. I'm applying DO even with great stats (undergrad GPA 3.87, science GPA 3.67) and I'm working my a$$ off to get that science up another tenth.
A top notch source for sciences: University New England Dept of Med. google them and type in "online" you should get to the distance science page directly.

EDIT: I just looked at your siggy, so you are finishing up your degree real soon. So, if you can use any gen ed sciences, then take them now and transfer them back (cheapest) or wait until you earn your degree and do your sciences as a "postbac" formally or informally. I don't know what you know/don't know, so do you know what sciences you need? Sorry, I could help you more if I knew what you needed to know lol.
