i want to be a doctor?

Question

suggestions..?

Answer 1

Good for you. We need you. Please learn about the coalition between health, environment, supplements,vitamins,stress and work schedules. So you may be a doctor of worth.

Answer 2

go get a job as a CNA. (or EMT, whatever) I did and it was one of the best things I did. Actual healthcare experience (not just shadowing a doctor) is view very favorably by admissions committees. you get to see things you wouldn't otherwise. It also gives you a chance to work with real patients, which in reality is what makes you a good doctor. You can nail every diagnosis, give the ideal treatments, but if you don't have a good bedside manner, you patients won't think much of you.
And of course, do well in school, on the MCAT, and all that.

Answer 3

Do what you want to do. In college, pursue whatever your interested the most in, whether it be language, art, music, biology, etc. Make sure you get good grades in whatever you do. Also make sure to take the min requirements for the schools (usually 8 credits General and Organic Chemistry, 8 Credits Physics, 8 Credits Bio and sometimes 3-4 credits Calc) The individual med schools will post their requirements online. Participate in extracurricular activities in high school and college, ESPECIALLY undergraduate research when you get to college. Get good grades and MCAT scores (did I say that already?) Also, make connections. Arrange to shadow some people at a hospital or get a job working at a hospital and make friendly with the physicians there. Oh yea, and get good grades. The admission process, according to my advisers and unlike other graduate fields, is just one big spreadsheet.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

Remember that when you finally become a doctor - you will always be a DOCTOR the rest of your life here on earth . No other profession is more demanding than becoming a doctor - I guess that's why it so difficult to become one ...

Answer 5

A noble goal. Yes, study, study, and then study. You should have really good grades, an impeccable background, volunteer for different things, study biology and all those related courses, take pre-med, and get into the best med school you possibly can.
And, never forget: "...first, do no harm..."
Always be kind and sweet to everyone you meet, no matter the circumstances.

Answer 6

I asked myself that same question. It sounds strange at first but if its truly what you want the question mark will disappear from the sentence. You want look for answers or reasons you'll take that leap and give it your all. Sure you'll miss parties because of nights studying. In the end it'll all be worth it.
