does community college is okay and if so, how many years???

Answer 1

You don't need to take any thing in high school to prepare you for that.

Just get good grades, take your maths, calculus stat and whatnot as well as science, chemistry biology physics anatmoy.

Go to a good college, major in biology, chemistry or physics, with a pre-med track.

Take the MCAT

Go to med school

be an anesthesiologist

Answer 2

Okay, well if you are in special ed now, but taking some regular courses, perhaps you could transfer into regular courses altogehter? Because you are going to have a hard time getting into college and medical school with a special ed diploma.

Beyond that, take as many science classes as you can, and keep taking math all the way through. Those are the key classes to take for pre-med and medical school.

Answer 3

REALITY CHECK: If you're not cruising through high school with all A's with minimal to moderate effort, you're probably not going to get into med school. You will be competing with a lot of very smart people for medical school admission.

The good news is, it's early, and you have time to apply yourself and get excellent grades. Blaming poor grades on a teacher is bad form, and no med school professor or attending physician is going to want to hear lame excuses. Take responsibility for yourself and your education. You get out of it what you put into it.

Community college isn't a good idea either. You're going to have to explain why you didn't start out at a 4 yr school. You're going to need a bachelor's degree before you start med school, and the 4 yr college that you end up in might not accept community college credits. (It depends on where you end up)

You have another 15 years of school and training before you can be an anesthesiologist. It's a long road.

Answer 4

I wouldn't sweat being in a low math class in high school or not doing well/liking math in high school. I actually failed pre-calc in high school and am currently in medical school en route to becoming an anesthesiologist. Here is my advice: work hard, high school can be pretty sucky sometimes. If you get good grades, you can go to a good college, though in reality any university is fine. In college you can take any math classes you didn't get to in high school, be it pre-calc, calculus, etc.. and you will probably find that a few years of intellectual maturation will have helped you immensely in those difficult subjects. In college you will need to take the following classes to get into med school. Don't be intimidated, by the time you get to these classes you'll be ready for them. :
1yr General Chemistry +lab
1Yr Organic Chem +lab
1Yr physics +lab
1yr Biology +lab
sometimes genetics is required
english
math: some schools require calculus, or stats, or just any math class
other: some schools require psychology, and some require a biochemistry course or 2.
Good luck! you can do it, and don't sweat the math. I did it, so can you!

Answer 5

You're only a freshman in high school, you still have a lot of maturing and changing to go through and who knows what you're going to end up going after by the time your a senior. Don't worry about dedicating yourself to a specific profession in high school, many people change their mind even in college about what they want to be. Particularly with the medical field, you will have no idea what you want to do with medicine because it is so much more demanding than you can imagine and not as easy as it seems.

However, that doesn't mean there is nothing you can do. The best thing you can do for yourself if your interested in medicine is take demanding classes and work hard because its important to develop good work ethic and handle stress. Maybe consider doing an internship with a doctor in your later years, and try and see how you do in your science classes. There was a time when I wanted to do medicine but I realized I absolutely loathe science.

Answer 6

Emergency surgical technique happens even with no count number if a affected person has eaten or no longer. very frequently Mr. Beer-and-Pizza gets into an motor vehicle twist of destiny and choose trauma surgical technique. The anesthesiologist gets a tube into the lungs and do the surgical technique. they could choose a number of their relaxing toys if the airway is a catastrophe and the affected person is vomiting, yet they're going to genuinely get a tube in and function the skill to do the surgical technique.

Answer 7

In high school, you should focus on science-based curriculum. Biology, anatomy and physiology, chemistry, physics, anything else science related. After that, see if you can get into dual-enrollment with a community college and start taking science classes there.

Once in a university, you'll be taking your general education classes (english, history, etc) in addition to your beginning science classes. Then, in your last two years of your bachelors degree you'll focus on hardcore science.

THEN it's off to medical school....

THEN onto your specialty. Long road, but if you know you want to do it now, all the better!

Answer 8

Quite frankly you really don't sound as if you have college potential! Especially since you are in special ed!

Answer 9

You can do whatever you set your mind to and promise me that you will do one simple thing..........DO NOT LET ANYBODY EVER TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN'T DO SOMETHING. If you want something you have to work hard to get it but once you do get it you will feel pretty darn good about yourself.

Answer 10

i went for medical assisting and i can only immagine you'd need the same kind of stuff...take biology, general math.., umm.... any heath corse they offer.... but deffinatly biology and anatomy
