What should I major in If i want to practice medical law and what is a good college for this field?

Answer 1

In the USA there is no specialty called "medical law."

To be an attorney you need to go to college, graduate with good marks and then attend law school and then pass your law boards so that you can be admitted to practice law in the state.

Once you are an attorney you can work on any case you want, but if you want to specialize in medical cases, you would need to get a job in a firm that specializes in that kind of case. After some years you would be the senior member ofthe firm working in that area.

I suppose you could go to medical school before you went to law school. That would mean you would have to be a pre-med student in college and take all the courses required to apply to med school, as well as all the courses required to apply to law school.

That would certainly keep you busy for a few years! I hope you really love studying for very hard courses where the competition is insane, because that's what you're headed for!
