As a medical student (Or a grduated one- a Doctor, or even any health-related studies)What is/was ur favourite medical subject and the least favourite? (4 me : Most: Pharmacology, Least: Anatomy and Pathology).

Most fav: Internal medicine and psychiatry\nLeast Fav: Clinical laboratory (its about how to design your lab, designing lab investigation forms, lab ethics, lab investigations and everything lab...simply sucks! I am going to be a doctor why give me the trouble to go through what a lab tech should do?)

The best answer to give is the truth. Medicine (and in the UK thats different from health science) is such a demanding course and so long and intensive that if you were to give dishonest answers to get urslef onto the course and one aspect of you that you had not revealed at interview were not able to deal with one aspect of the course it would be failing yourself and society as a whole. \n\nExpect to be asked questions like "why do you want to be a doctor", "what are the three most important qualities in a doctor", "what do you think medicine will be like in the future", "how do you deal with Stress and hard work", "what do you like to do to relax", "how would you suggest the implication of public health policy X is carried out" like I got asked about how to get people to eat more fruit and veg, any sporting hobbies or interests that ou have told them of in the application form is fair game. \n\nThese are all question that I was asked in my interviews for med school. Each interview is different depending on the candidate and the interviewers. Just be yourself and go witht he flow. When asked what I liked to do to relax I actually told them I liked to go to the pub for a large gin and tonic. I'm now in fourth year of the med school course at that very university.

Engineering is a hot feild now... and the biomed is pretty good.  Not my thing, but could be fun.

Microbiology is one of the best course.  If you have interest in regarding the diseases and tests you can have this subject.  You can get many opurtunities in research feild also.  as it is a demanding course you can get many oppurtunites

I love psychology, but you're right about the amount of reading at first. It gets easier later on, though, because you know most of the stuff from the other courses you've already taken. And you get to do research as an undergrad if you're lucky! I also liked microbiology, anatomy, English composition, calculus, and statistics.

I had a terrible time with gross anatomy in medical school.  A couple of ideas that may help.  First, try the book "Clinical Anatomy Made Ridiculously Simple."  It uses humor and simplified drawings to help reinforce the ideas and relationships.  Second, try studying an anatomy atlas.  So much of anatomy is relationships between structures.  It's easier to see them than to read about them.  Make lists and drawings.   One thing that helped me was to take difficult ideas and turn them into songs, usually really obscene songs.  Outrageous things tend to be more memorable.  I hope this helps.

Science - I had fun with the experiments especially in year 9 where we get to test the chemicals using flame colours.  It was really cool :)

well, i've just chosen my subjects. I'm doing business studies, french and history.\nScience is a core subject- so this will cover your aim to have a job in medicene- however, there may be an option for separate sciences, which is all 3 sciences covered (chemistry, biology and physics). You may want to opt for this as biology will be a key thing for your studies in medecine - especially human biology, which you can later study at AS and A level as a separate subject. \nIf your dream is really to be an artist - then take art, but don't think about how much you'll earn, it's what you want to do, what you enjoy! \nLanguages are key for a job later in life- you're more likely to get a job with these types of qualifications. So French or German should be one of your choices.\n\nSo you could do Art, French/German and perhaps History/Geography\nThese are a good mix of subjects and are very popluar at my school. I don't know how your science system works- so that may take up one of your options - I don't know! But don't worry about your future too much, just enjoy what you're doing at the moment. Howver, I can't really talk, because I did choose business studies for a possible career later in life. See, I want to be an accountant or something like that!\nGood luck! :)

It sounds like the subjects you don't like are the basics. If you don't know anatomy and histology cold (i.e., immediate, on-the-spot recall), eventually you'll fall behind in the subjects you do enjoy. This is like learning the ABCs and counting from 1 to 10 so that you can write poetry and perform advanced mathematics.\n\nIf there is someone at your school who is good in anatomy and histology, but isn't doing well in fisiology (this is the Spanish spelling, correct?) and clinics, perhaps you can tutor each other. You may come to see what fascinates them about the subjects you don't like.\n\nPerhaps you can make a game out of the memorization. Write a poem or song to list the parts of the anatomy. Use flash cards. Use memory aids. I'm sure there are tools available if you ask your med school librarian or other med students. Your professors may have some ideas to make learning a little easier.\n\nAnd stop focusing on how much you don't like these subjects. \n\nMichelangelo dissected human corpses so that he could more accurately portray the human form. He had no Gray's Anatomy to study. Michelangelo believed he could not express the power of his art without deep and intimate knowledge of its components.\n\nYou cannot analyze and apply concepts to things you don't understand to the deepest level. Remove anatomy and histology from your fisiology and clinics. Now explain anything in fisiology and clinics to me without using knowledge of anatomy and histology.

I'm not familiar with that one.  You've sparked my interest I'll probably go to the library and check it out.\n\n/doc

My favorite site is at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/ I love the personality and career and all the tests in the Human Body and mind section, but they have a lot of different science sections that are very cool! It's definitely a fun site...but you can learn also.

Yes for me it is.\n\nhowever, I have tackled both classes quite differently.\n\nAnatomy, I thought of as history Class.  A lot hard facts to memorize, what comes before what comes after, general trends (which do start to repeat).  Repetition is the key.  Visual hands on experience is very rewarding ( like visiting a museum or old war ground).\n\nPharmacology, I thought of as a foreign language.  Initially, must learn the basics, and it feels very hard.  Must memorize initial core facts (not including drug names).  Eventually things get better with practice.  Repetition = not helpful.  Mix and match / compare and contrast = helpful.  Practice/ study pharmacology with other students v.v. helpful (just like talking in foreign language with fellow students will dramatically increase your hold on the language).\n\nI hope this helps in your studying.  \n\nUsing these principles I have gotten 86% in my anatomy course and 85% in my Pharmacology.  \n\ncurrently 3rd year med student.

I enjoy provincial health care.  We still pay for prescriptions and stuff, but the visit to the doc is free. (well not free in the sense that we pay out the bum for taxes! lol)\n\nI like our warm summers and white Christmases (although I HATE snow)\n\nI like how we are viewed as "the nice guys".  Not entirely true, but in gerenal I suppose it is.\n\nI also love our "mosaic" society and our multi-culturism.\n\nAnd I love Canadian jokes.  They make me laugh =)
