You have to apply for medical school.  See the pre-med advisor, or change to a school that has one and a good medical school acceptance rate.  You need to take certain classes, pass the MCAT test, then apply to medical schools until you finally get accepted.

MBBS is a degree like other degrees also. But there is a tough competition and bungling in admissions in MBBS.  You were quite eligible to take some competitive test after 10+2.  On the other hand you have decided very late while you have completed graduation as well as post graduation also.  This I am not discussing as a disqualification, rather having a higher qualification, as you would be wating for another 5 years to start with your career, and that too after you get through the competitive examination.  There are some institutions in the South India in which you can get admission by paying a very high capitation fee.  Those institutions, being private, cannot be so reliable.\n\nI know you are an honest lady and can't take recourse to some bungling, as you have come up for some serious and sincere advice about your career.\n\nIf you are really persistent for allopathy and surgery, MEDICAL ENGINEERING will take you to the heights of your career.  You would be able to get all the ins and outs of a surgeon's calibre. Your computer qualification can help you a lot. No tough competition. You can get an easy but highly paid job with some medical equipment manufacturing company, plus getting a chance of research of highly sophisticated and computerised medical machinery and equipments.\n\nBUT, in case you are totally inclined to be a doctor, you can do BAMS, a combined system of allopathy and Ayurveda.  Every thing which is taught in MBBS, will be taught in BAMS.  As a BAMS doctor you would be able to practise both allopathy as well as Ayurveda and Sidha systems of medicies.  Although, in the present set up the BAMS degree is not so popular amongst the public, but, the BAMS doctors, who pracise the allopathy system of medicines are equally successful as an MBBS doctor.  ut being equipped with both the systems you can apply whichever system is more beneficial comparatively. I understand one institute, probably, DAYANAND MEDICAL COLLEGE is being run under the DAV committee.\n\nFor taking up a course in BAMS in Government run Institutes under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, you can try in one such old and prominant Institute named:\nNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF AYURVEDA, Madhav Vilas Palace, Amer Road, JAIPUR – 302002 (Rajasthan).  The Institute is an autonomous body under the Government of India, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Department of Ayush.\n\nThere are so many other institutes under the Ministry, the details of which can be found at the following link of the Ministry:\nhttp://indianmedicine.nic.in/html/institutions/augpg.htm\n\nNow a days, career in BDS is also attractive and admissions are not so tough, like MBBS.\n\nHope the information will be quite helpful to you to decide about your career.

well, u have to get a BSC--bachelor of sciences and then nail the medic school entrance exam....Check the university's requirements

This is not a decision you have to make now. I would say at this point just take General Chemistry and General Biology along with general education courses at the community college and concentrate on making good grades. After you have completed these courses you will have a better idea of what you would like to major in - Biology or something like English or History.\n\nIt is true that the more science you have, the better chance you will have on the MCAT but medical schools do not require that you major in a science. In fact, they are pleased when a candidate for med school has a broad liberal arts education in addition to the pre-med requirements.\n\nI wish you well at the community college. It is really important that almost all of your grades are A.\n\ns

Well, assuming you want to do surgery, you're going to have to go to medical school. Med school is really competitive and your best chance of getting in is with a very comprehensive education of all things medical. Pre-med might not always be the best choice because it sometimes lacks coursework in the fundamentals of molecular and cellular biology. Lots of students I know going to medical school are majoring in microbiology (the study of cells), bioscience, biochemistry (incredibly tough but proves that you're ready for the rigors of medical school), chemistry and surprisingly enough, bioengineering. \n\nI would avoid any health, diet, or majors that don't focus on the basic levels of cellular and human biology. Getting a 4.0 in major consisting of nutrition doesn't look very good. You need to have a really good background in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, and microbiology to be a good canadiate for a medical program but as long as your taking challenging classes that focus on some aspect of the human body, you have a very good chance of getting into medical school.\n\nI'd look into what aspect of biology you enjoy the most and major in that. From there, with good grades and good recommendations, you should be a shoe-in for medical school

You have to practice theory to be a doctor.\nA good knowledge of physiology and Anatomy along with Histology ,Microbiology and Biochemistry.\nGray's Anatomy and Guyton's physiology.General knowledge of what's happening around and an empathy for people.

To become a doctor you need a doctorate--a degree. Thus, you can became a doctor of medical chemistry. A licence to treat people is another story.  Please check with the local licensing authorities having jurisdiction in your area. College of physician and surgeons, for example.

It depends on what university you go to and what they offer. You will want to consider Cell Physiology, Molecular biology, Histology, Embryology, Virology, Immunology, Parasitology, and much more. Maybe.

From previous research into med schools, I would recommend getting a pre-med BS because of the sciences.  You'll probably want to take microbiology, histology, general and organic chemistry to give you a better background for the first 2 years of med school.  It can be done with a psychology degree but it may be more difficult.

Yes, you do need a bachelor's in something.  I don't know if you have a BSN or not.  If you are an RN as an associate's or diploma, it would be pretty easy to get a BSN transition program from a RN.  You can get to medical school, but it is very competitive.  However, in saying this, I am not trying to discourage you.  I want you to continue to research how to get into medical school.  Over 50% of all qualified applicants get rejected.  Most applicants have a gpa of over a 3.5 (at least...in fact average is more like 3.7).  Getting into medical school is the hardest challenge.  You also have to declare being a "premed" which is important because you will more than likely have premed advisers at your college who can help you.  Premed advisers are gold to you.  Once you declare being a premed, you must take necessary courses such as physics, chemistry, calculus, organic chemistry, biology.  (most of which your RN knowledge will come in handy since you, I am assuming, have completed some of these courses).  Most premeds declare they are premed while completing their bachelor's degree, but some have declared premed after getting a B.S. and yes even a B.A.  There are a lot of biology/biochemistry/related sciences who are accepted.  In fact, 50% of biochemistry majors get in.  About 23% of nursing majors get in which sounds small, but it is in fact pretty high.  I hope I have been helpful, and I encourage you to pursue medical school.

yes buddy you can? For that you need to take mcat exam. and then you have to apply to a medical school. eventhough getting admission in a medical school is easy compared to india it is going to cost u a lot -------- a lot

A BS degree in biochemistry is helpful, but it is a tough major.  There is a lot of overlap between biochemistry and microbiology, so a lot of people double major in both.  I have a degree in biology and am a biochemist by profession.  Biology is a much easier degree.

This may come as a shock, but the medical school will teach you anatomy and physiology. You just need general & organic chemistry, basic biology, basic physics. Don't waste time learning material that will be repeated in medical school. Get a broad prepatory education.

If you are going into biomed it really helps if you have some background in human anatomy and physiology, as well as biochemistry, organic chemistry, biophysics, and the engineering disciplines as well. If you don't have the biology and chemistry courses, you will limit yourself in the number of types of jobs you can do, and somewhere along your career you will be passed-over for a promotion, and it will go to a broader-educated bio-engineer. How do I know? I just retired from medical physics which is a parallel occupation, and I worked with bio-engineers regularly.

Are you taking about becoming a physician?  You would want to choose a Pre-med program that will do you well launching into the medical college you choose in the end.  \n\nFor example, Getting a BS in Nursing or Clinical Laboratory Science are very good degree programs designed to prepare you for becoming a doctor.\n\nHere is a website with more information:\n\nhttp://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/category/14365.html\n\nThe first thing I would concentrate on is being more thorough in your spelling and composition skills.  I assure you, that will be very important.  The spell check option is one way to approach this conundrum.

Taking maths with biology is not a compulsion but definitely it has added advantage as you are eligible for both medical and engineering fields after plus 2.Even taking up psychology is not a bad option as you can then become a psychologist(its only if you are interested).Obviously taking up computer science with biology(if your school gives you this option) will help you in the field bio informatics which is a research field using computers though its eligibility does not require computer science.

Are you aiming for a post-doc or a professorship?\n\nThe latter is likely impossible for you, unless you are particularly brilliant (e.g. lots of research money and a recent publication in Nature or Science)
