You will definitely need to go to another school. A degree in science is helpful. It will make it a lot easier to get all those prerequisites done. And a lot of schools have a limit as to how many of the prerequisites you can take from a community college. And in the meantime try to find a place to get experience working in the field. Not as a doctor, of course, but a volunteer position maybe. Schools want people who have patient experience. Right now you should worry about your bachelor's and the classes you need.

The transfer would be to San Jose state, from which you would apply to medical school. Since that is a completely different degree, there is no transfer from the bachelor's to med school. You might want to consider if San Jose State is your best bet. It sounds to me like you could use some close guidance, and San Jose State is a big, relatively impersonal school. Ask your community college counselor how to handle your transfer to a 4-year school. Once there, get yourself to the pre-med advisor as quickly as possible, to make sure you get the right courses and know how to proceed.

Go into Pre-med, a bio chemistry type major.
Then you APPLY to medical schools, but your grades bettter be good.
Then you do Medschool for 4 years, then you find an INTERSHIP and do that for 1 year, then you take a test and if you pass it you get a license.
Medical School is INTENSE. They can and will work you over Memorial Day weekend, Laborday weeken, Christmas, NEws Years.
You may find yourself in rounds for 60-100 hours straight.

Well, if I were you, I would get my Bachelor's degree, then transfer. I have heard that if you would like to be a Doctor, you have to have a Bachelors degree. So, yes, if I were you I would definitely get my degree first, then transfer.

You have to study eight years medicine at a university.
