does anyone know the routine that everyone goes through in college when becoming a pharmacist, doctor, surgeon, etc. im thinking about doing this stuff but yeah its tough
Answers:
You do a four year accredited college with a major in bio.
During school, you take the MCATS - kinda like the SATs for med school.
You then spend 4 years in Med School.
You then spend 2-7 years in residency and possibly fellowship.
You then find work and begin practicing. During this time, you take numerous board exams to prove your worth as a physician. During residency and med school, you are basically working at it 24 hours a day. Tests are brutal. Hours are brutal. In residency, expect to be on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week. And expect to get called in regularly between the hours of 12am and 4am - and then be expected to report for your 7 or 8am shift. You will have very little life from the moment you enter med school. The better your grades in college, the better med school you will get into.
The better your grades in med school and the better the school, the better the residency programs you will get into.
The better you do in residency, the better the fellowship you may choose to pursue.
The better the residency and fellowship program you do, the better job you can get.
The better job you can get, the better money you can make. In short, you are looking at at least 10 years post high school before you can work.
Yeah it usually takes at least 8 years.
Biological sciences.
Your looking at years of education and devotion. Forget about friends and relationships. Your not going to get that till way after you have established yourself in the medical field. You should have a hard stomach and lots of compassion for people.
your interest is paramount,getting use 2 related subjects,going to a medical school.
Yes going into the medical field is tough. I want to do the same thing so I did a lot of research on it. After high school you must complete atleast 12 years of schooling to became a doctor/physians. In college you should take courses like cemistry, phisics, microbiology,english lititure. You must graduate with a BA( bachalors of Arts) or a BS ( bachalors of science). You must then complete 4 years of medical school and earn your M.D. or D.O. After medical school you must do residency that lasts 2-8 years. That is just the basic info with out the test I didnt mention.
I can help you a bit: I am a registered nurse with an Associate's in Science degree. My daughter has a B.S.In college you have elective but required courses to take to round off your degree and education. Some are Math, Physics (basic), English and some Science Labs (hands on learning--really cool). You can also choose a Language. Depends which college degree you want.As you choose your major and minor you will decide what road to take. There is a variety to choose from. The good thing is that if you do not like Biology or Chemistry, is that it can be a "test" to see if that is your field.Pharmacy is loaded with Chemistry.
Doctors and surgeons deal with the body's fluids and can save lives. There are also Physician's Assistant which is a lot less time and is becoming very popular, or same for a registered nurse practioner. EMD's and EMT's.Hope this helps you.
my first thought was a strong stomach.
It takes diligence, respect, and understanding. Be humble and remember that we all are human and no one person is perfect. I am an RN pursuing my masters. Working as a nurse has taught me to respect my peers and the people I take care of.
About 12yrs of college
DESIRE %26 A GOOD SCIENTIFIC BIOLIGICAL APPTIDUDENOT TO MENTION TENURE EX= INTERNSHIP
Your first step would be to decide on a college whether community or university then talk to an admissions counselor to help you the rest of the way.
It takes much time, money, patience, willingness to give up your time with your family, a strong determination to succeed, a very strong need to make a difference in the world (one small piece at a time) and an iron stomach.
Most medical educations are based strongly in the sciences. The specialty parts come after the preliminary school courses are finished. The time is long, the hours are long, but they are worth it in the end.
Check out several schools and look for their course requirements. If you are thinking of doing this- go for it!
