Hello.  I am a pharmacy technician student.  I go to a technical school and one has to be 18 to be in the program.  It is the law to work with meds.  One also needs a high school diploma to participate.  \n  One option is to work in a pharmacy as a customer service aide.  That way you can be in that working environment and you can "get your feet wet".  Also, you can meet people that you can network with in when you get your pharm. tech. diploma.  It could hep you find a job.  It won't hurt.\n  I hope I have been of some help to you.  I wish you well.

Pharmacology is the study of how drugs work like drug interactions within the body and such. A pharmacist will learn pharmacology but also learns how to correctly dispense medicines and such.\n\nPharmacology in a degree is not limited to pharmacy it can be found in the general science degree where you can major in pharmacology\n\nJobs for a pharmacologist includes working for a pharmaceutical company to help develop a drug. Combined with other majors such as public relations can also lead you to be a drug representative for a pharmaceutical company

You can do a 5-year program that incorporates an undergraduate degree with a graduate degree in pharmacy. You take classes in biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, physics, calculus, microbiology, and possibly some other core courses (they might vary).  These classes should have labs.

for pre med they prefer you to have a science  under major, i dont kno if child development counts as a science under grad major. in ur junior year you take MCAT's they are like high school SAT'..you getting in a good medical college depends on them and ur gpa. then you apply to a med school and you have interviews and all....they usually dont allow you to wrk or you have like 10 hours u can wrk and all because all med students are full times students with study load and all i dont think many find time to have a job. my cuz did biochemistry and he got in to the school he wanted to go to. i have decided to do biology ( i sux in chemistry)... except i have decided to go to community college before 4 year university so i can take my math and sciences in small classes and not have to be in a 1000 students biology class.( my school i want to go to has a 1000 students biology class). inshallah good look

You will need at least a 4 year degree, specializing in early childhood education. What classes to take will depend on your college route and of course the college. If you know which you'll be attending, make an appointment with an advisor, their job is to help with exactly the problem your having, they will be best suited to helping you pick the classes you'll need for your degree.\n\nIt's not a big thing to worry about, most of your classes you take your first year are classes that most everyone has to take and will be good regardless of the specific degree you choose.

You have a long way to go before worrying too much.  Get into college first, do well in undergrad.  Get into med school.  There is a long way ahead of you, and you have to make sure this is what you really want.  Honestly, not having all A's in 10th grade won't bar you from med school.  I know people that got B's in some Biology courses that got into med school just fine and are well on their way to being doctors.  But Undergrad is generally a lot harder than High School, and Med School is infinitely harder than undergrad, so if you're struggling with straight A's right now, just think what it will be like to struggle for straight A's in college.  I'm not trying to discourage you, but there is a lot to do before you're really ready to become a doctor.  After high school the next 12 years of your life are devoted to becoming the best damn doctor you can be.\n\nThe 12 years after high school are generally, 4 years of undergrad (Pre-Med), 4 years of Med-School, and mostly 4 years of a residency, depends on the specialty.  The undergrad years are generally your most fun, but are still crucial.  Now I don't want you to be a naive little gunner and overwhelm yourself like most pre-meds, so watch out for scheduling yourself to do too much (volunteering at the hospital, trying to do some extra research, taking too many hard classes at once, doing shadowing rotations).  And while you are doing extra curriculars, make sure you're making them worthwhile, like if you're shadowing a pediatrician, ask them as many questions as you can without coming off annoying.  Just do your best in these years, and keep your GPA high and study as much as you can for the MC AT (Expect to study up to 6-8 hours a day).  Then once you do get accepted into a med-school, prepare for the first stage of hell.  It will involve constant studying, with maybe a few hours A WEEK for fun, and not much time for you to have a fun life.  A residency is your next step, and once you're there, you will spend time running around the hospital picking up as much info as you can on how to become a pediatrician.\n\nJust don't buy into all the glam our of the life of a doctor, you might change your mind about becoming one, or might change your specialty, or who knows.  There is a lot of work ahead of you kid, and I wish you the best of luck, but make sure you have your wits about you, and actually understand the profession inside and out.  And understand that you'll end up in debt most likely, and that family life will be really hard while in med school.  Realize that malpractice insurance comes with the job, and that not just bad doctors get sued.  Becoming a pediatrician is one of the most prestigious careers you can choose, but it comes with so many hardships that anyone who is too weak will be sorted out very quickly, make sure you know what you're in for, and that you're strong enough to make it.  Best of luck.

4 years of college, 4 years of medical school to get an M.D. degree.  After that, though, you need to complete an internship (usually 1 year) and residency (3-7 years) to become a licensed practicing physician.  You don't need to major in science, but you do need to complete certain prerequisite courses (Chemistry, Biology, Organic Chem, Physics, etc.) in order to qualify for the MCAT examination which is required for medical school admissions.  Good luck!

Demand for pharmacists is high, and programs are competitive. Why? Pharmacy is a great career for someone who excels in chemistry and science. The pharmacists I know enjoy flexible hours, high pay, great benefits, and some satisfaction from helping people. They have worked for pharmaceutical companies from sales to management, for private pharmacies and government, and have as little or as much work as they prefer. A family member is a retired pharmacist and has opportunities to travel and relieve another pharmacist to vacation. He stays and works for a few weeks in a small towns with only one pharmacist; the locations can be in all types of climates, from plains to tropics. I'm sure these are only a few of the many career opportunities for pharmacists, like in research, drug development, and even teaching other pharmacists.\n\nThe female pharmacists I know feel it is the absolute best career for a woman--they have high pay, flexibility of hours, and good working conditions. Each has her own family, has time with her kids, works only as much as she wants, and still brings in a sizable pay check. \n\nDrawbacks are few. They do have to work some weekend and night hours, and especially when just starting their career they have had long shifts. The required education will have you in school for 5-6 years, and that means tuition expenses. However, none of the pharmacists I know regret for one second their decision, nor the expense and work to get licensure. \n\nStudy your sciences, work hard to make excellent grades, and talk to some pharmacists where you live. They may have tips that could help you reach your goal.

4 for undergrad 2 for masters and then i think 2 more for PHD and then you have residency where you learn on the job. i think its about 10 years. get your math and chemistry up as high as you can in highschool to make life easier. and try and take as many Advanced Placement (AP) cources as you can you can cut out at least a semester of course work if you can pass them. and start studying organice chemistry now. if you really want to get ahead of the game you will go down to your local college at the end of the semester and ask if they are keeping the same organic chemistry book for next semester if not you can pick one up for a couple of bucks and if they are you can still ask students selling back their books if you can buy it instead of them selling it back. thats a real easy way to get up to date text books at a low price. but you will be fine as long as you talk to your counselor and have a plan in mind you will do fine.

Go to the university's web sites and look up "transfer students".  Universities will list guidelines, application information, etc.  Each school may have different requirements.  In addition, try emailing (or calling) an educational advisor/counselor at the school.  (Do it after registration is over for the coming term.)

"Pre-med" is not usually a major in itself at any college or university. One majors in anything one wants, usually in the natural sciences (biology, chemistry, etc.), but some people choose to major in the social sciences (anthropology, political science, economics, etc.) or humanities (philosophy, religious studies, French, etc.).  Whatever one's major, it is essential to meet medical school admission requirements by taking the necessary courses as an undergraduate.\n\nIt is generally expected that med school applicants will earn a B or better in the following courses:\n\nAt least one year of BIOLOGY \nOne year of PHYSICS \nOne year of ENGLISH \nTwo years of CHEMISTRY (through Organic Chemistry) \n\nMany med schools also require the following:\n\n1 semester CALCULUS\n1 year BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES (e.g., anthropology, sociology, psychology, economics or political science)

1) You are expected to know everything.  The course load is heavy and it goes fast.  And you are required to remember it all.\n\n2) It takes 4 years of undergrad and then, if you go directly into med-school, it will take another 4 years, and then you have to do a residency at a hospital (usually two years), and then back to school if you want to specialize (13 year commitment).  You might be able to make a marriage work during this if she is supportive and understands that you won't be able to spend much time together.  I would not recommend a family.  But it depends on you I guess.  (This is the reason I chose a different career path)  \n\n3) Can't tell ya.\n\n4) Medical Schools all over the nation are highly competative.  They like to see A's in all pre-requisites, high over all GPA (3.6 minimum, 3.8+ prefered).  MCAT scores are extremely important, and they like to see hospital-related experience (volunteer work!).\n\n5) Residency is very difficult, at times you may be going 70+ hours with no sleep (kinda scary if you're expected to be caring for people in emergency situations).  As an MD, it really depends on your situation.  If you have your own practice, obviously you can make your own hours.\n\n6) Depends...(see #5)\n\n7) What interests you?  For the commitment needed to excell in this profession, you better be doing something that YOU want to be doing (if you're in it for the money, consider law school instead).\n\n8) Anyone can have friends.  As for a social life as a medical student, it may be limited to your med school buddies during study sessions which can last days.\n\n9) Ethics are a tricky subject.  I suppose it depends which kind of medicine you practice.\n\n10) Varies, try google-ing it.\n\n\nI'm not trying to discourage you, if this is your dream pursue it, but realize that it's going to be difficult and demanding.\n\nGood luck!

Well it depends, you have to become either an LPN or RN.  LPN usually takes about a year and a half to 2 years.  RN can take 2 to 4 years. \n\nYou become an RN and work specifically in pediatrics, you can even become certified.\n\nIt is best to talk to a nursing school in your area or a university that has a nursing program and ask them specific information.  They will be able to steer you in the right direction of what you should do and how to pursue this.  Nursing is a wonderful profession and children are certainly a blessing.  I hope that everything goes well...

find out which major university is nearest to your house (if you dont plan on moving away to go to pharmacy school.) i go to duquesne university pharmacy school. i'm in my last year of school. if you want to take all of the undergraduate classes at community college, tell your community college advisor that you are interested in pharmacy school. bring with you the undergraduate prerequisites from the major universities website. (mine would be www.duq.edu for duquesne), and follow links to pharmacy school, and undergrad courses. every university has the curriculum laid out as to what they require students to take in order to be eligible for the "professional phase" of pharmacy school (which basically means--all my undergrad courses are finished and i can now learn real pharmacy stuff.)\nif you get all of your undergraduate courses finished at community college, apply to the major university every year you are in community college (because they may get more pharmacy school applicants one year versus the next), and the earlier you apply the better. ALSO, go down to the major university and go to the pharmacy school offices and try to schedule a meeting with one of the advisors and find out what they have to say. You could probably give them a call and schedule some sort of meeting. I actually transferred into duquesne from pitt, so i needed to do a lot of this process. I do know that the earlier you get out of the community college and into the major university the better off you are!\nhope this helps!

You are going to want to focus on biology, chemistry, psychology, and child development.  You are going to do 4 years of undergrads, maybe with a pre-med major, psych or child development minor, followed by medical school, internship, and residency.

You only have to take five required classes to get into medical school:\nYear of:\nchemistry (physical)\norganic chemistry\nbiology \nphysics\ncalculus \n\nOther science classes are recommended, especially biochemistry.\n\nYou can major in whatever subject.\n\nGoing to a particular school gives no priority in getting an admission to their medical school.  Getting into medical school is often based on these three areas:  GPA, MCAT scores and life experience/experience with medicine.
