I want to be an OB/GYN. I am going into high school and I want to know what classes to take. Any Ideas?

Answer 1

I would like to become a doctor, possibly an OB/GYN as well. As well as taking all required classes for high school graduation, you should definitely take biology, chemistry, physics, and anatomy/physiology (do Advanced Placement if possible to posibly exempt yourself from that college credit in order to take more classes then). Be sure to take as high mathematics courses as possible (trust me, they will come in handy). A health class is ALWAYS required for all high school students, so you need to take that. If your school has a medical program, be sure to take it (I will take it in 12th grade, I will be in the 11th grade this year). Although youshould take all high-level classes, try to place more emphasis on math and science classes. This should help you be on your way to a medical career!!

Answer 2

First take as many science, math, and upper level english classes as possible. Second take health and if its offered at your school a sex ed class, this way you know what you may see when you become a doctor. Also to make sure this is the right field for you see if you can shadow a OB/GYN in your area. High school is still early so if you find out you don't like it you have plenty of time to find something you like before you hit college.

Answer 3

To prepare for becoming an OB/GYN doctor, take all the science classes you can, especially chemistry and biology.

Answer 4

You will need a good base of science, especially biology and chemistry. Of course, you need all the other basic high school classes as well. Doctors need to know how to read, write, do math, understand history and all the other non-doctor stuff too.

If you have an opportunity to take anatomy and/or biochemistry, I would highly recommend it. But you don't have to.

The most important thing you can do in high school to prepare for becoming a doctor is to learn to study efficiently, and get your work done well and on time.

Once you get to college, then you can concentrate on more science courses, but you don't have to major in a science, as long as you get the med school prerequisites done.

I majored in psychology in college, and am now a practicing physician. Some of my colleagues majored in engineering, art, or other non-medical things. You just need to do well on the MCAT test and maintain good grades throughout to get a place in medical school. Medical school isn't terribly difficult, but you will be expected to learn a HUGE amount of material in a short time.

Good luck!

Answer 5

don't worry to much about high school yes is recommended you explore sciences , but the important now is to get good grades to be able to go to a competitive 4 years university . once you get to go to college the recommended major is biology since this satisfy all the medical school requirements within the major . buts as will u not need to be a sciences major you Can chose any diverse major and enroll at the university premed track to fulfill medical school requirements . good luck hope to see you at the hospital 14 years from now .

Answer 6

I would also suggest to keep up with your English classes. To enter college and/or university, you need to be at college level Math and English. Some highschool students stop taking Math and English as soon as they can and then they are behind in it when they reach college and have to take classes that waste college credit. These classes can be finished up in High school but have to be taken in college to bring them up to the level they need to be in.

Answer 7

The best person to ask is your school academic advisor, he or she would know what classes are available to take.

Answer 8

Any and all science related classes.

Answer 9

Get all your basic science classes--chemistry, physics, biology, etc., and then languages--Latin and a modern one would be best.

Answer 10

biology, chemistry, math.
