Assuming you're already a college student. \n\n(1)Freshman/Sophomore Year College: make sure you are premed. This will ensure that you are taking the right courses for medical school entrance. Study hard, work hard and play hard too. Make sure you are involved in clubs/sports/jobs etc.\n\n(2)Junior/Senior Year: TAKE THE MCAT!!! Also, make sure you're GPA is to the tune of 3.7 to 4.0, and that you've done research and volunteered in a healthcare setting. Apply to medical schools; particularly those known for primary care.\n\n(3)Once you've been accepted: You are going to take basic med school classes years 1 and 2. Afterwards, in years 3 and 4 you will be broken down into specialties. You'll make 'rounds' at area hospitals where you finally get a chance to work w/children.\n\n(4)After graduating med school, you'll have a 3-5 year residency where you'll get paid to work in pediactrics while senior doctors monitor your progress.\n\n(5) You become a full fledged pediatrician!\n\n**Persona wise: make sure you are a friendly, understanding and compassionate person. Also, are you a carefully/cautious person? When you work w/children there is no room for error. Messing up in dosage / surgery could kill a child faster than an adult.

To get a medical degree, you must have an undergraduate degree followed by four years of medical school.  After medical school most doctors have one or two years of internship (on-the-job training) followed by anywhere from four to ten years of medical residency to specialize in a certain branch of medicine. Surgery takes the longest, while general practictioner takes the shortest.\n\nWhile studying medicine doctors are also taught such things as patient communication and patient empathy (or the opposite, depending on circumstance).  Bedside manner is very important to the caring physician.

a doctor naturally has to take several years of college, generally choosing to specialize in some particular field, at the end of their college careers they have to enter into residency, then after their residency they can either become a people doctor or research - or take more college

To study medicine in the USA, you must first have a Bachelor's degree or its equivalent. In the majority of cases, universities will only accept applicants who have a US or Canadian Bachelor's degree. Medical schools also require MCAT scores, recommendations, community work among other requirements. Visit the AMA (American Medical Association) for more information.

You'll also need at least an undergraduate degree. You will also need to take the MCATs.

First, off you will need to graduate High school or get a GED. I suggest you start off at a Community College and ask them at the career center. Also do you want to be a doctor or a assistant? Because you can easily become a assistant in 9 mos through private schools like Bryman College.

Yes, you CAN attend and finish medical school. The most important thing you must have is determination. \n\nGood luck, future Doctor:-)

You first need a bachelor's degree in either a pre-med program, a bio med program, microbiology, or chemistry.  Then you need to pass the MCAT and get into medical school.  The medical school will have a specific degree plan for you.  You will also need to take licensing and/or certification exams depending on your state of practice.

Depending on which uni, you'll need three fairly highly graded A-levels, ideally with a science.\nIf you did these a few years ago, you may need to sit a direct entry test such as the GAMSAT. These tests are pretty extensive, cover English, Science and Maths and allow you direct entry to Medical School. They often run only once or twice a year. It's best to check with the Uni you want to go to about which test they use.\nAfter that, you'll have six years of study and practical placements before you qualify as a Pre-Registration House Officer. You'll be a fully fledged Doc a year after that.\n\nSounds like a lot, but you could be qualified by 30 or so and if you don't, you'll quickly hit 30 and wonder why you didn't bother!\n\nAnyway, anything's got to be better than being an accountant right?

For a clinical psychologist, you would major in psychology in college then go on to your masters and folow that with a doctorate (PhD).  You woul dneed to focus on your core courses for this degree which would be like child development, abnormal psychology, etc.  You would also have your general education requirements which you get at any college where you pursue a bachelor's degree\n\nTo be a Psychiatrist, you MUST go to medical school (4 years).  For undergrad, you should major in a pre-med program or something in the sciences.  You could also major in psychology, but you need certain core courses in order to be able to get into a medical school.  Also, you have to take the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) before you can get into med school.  This test is very science heacy with some reading sections.  It is difficult, but taking the science courses throughout college will help you.  After you finish your medical school education you have to do your internship and residency which for a psychiatrist is I think 4-6 years after medical school. \n\nYou should get online to different medical school websites to check out their admission requirements which will give you a better idea of what you may be interested in. \n\nAs far as who makes more, in general psychiatrists would make more.  But this is heavily dependent on where you work, and how good you are at what you do.  I know psychologists who make more than some psychiatrists, but this isn't the norm.  Psychiatrists usually make more.\n\nHope this helps and good luck to you in your future decisions and career!

It's simple as this. YOU CAN"T!\n\nALL med schools require biology, etc.

If you have not finished undergraduate work then you need to take some courses that are required by every US medical school including:\n\n1 year (2 semesters or 3 quarters) of\n\n- Biology with a year of labs\n- Chemistry with a year of labs\n- Organic Chemistry with a year of labs\n- Physics with a year of labs\n- other courses in biology are strongly reccomended including\n  -physiology\n  -anatomy\n  -biochemistry\n  -neuroscience\n\nThen you will have to take a long ass test called the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) that covers all the above sciences and some verbal stuff.... it is multiple choice like all the other standardized tests.  Oh yeah, most if not all also require a bachelor's degree in any subject, but many opt for a Biology major since the pre-health requirements are in line with that major.\n\nIt is a long road and very competitive... get a GPA above a 3.5 or you will struggle to find a spot, if you really want to do it you can though.  They made it tough so that only the people that really really want to do it make it.\n\nIt is also highly reccomended to do community service and research.  Although you can start at a community college, I haven't found any community colleges that offer all of the courses needed to fulfill these bare minimum requirements.  You will have to do this at a university.\n\nGood luck.

Go to a 4-year school (preferably one with a good reputation), take the required prerequisite pre-med courses like Physics, Calculus, Biology, Chemistry... then take the MCAT test for acceptance into a medical school. Spend the next 4+ years in med school working crazy hours and doing rotations in all aspects of medicine (emergency, surgery, peds, etc.) then specialize in Ob/gyn. Hope this helps. Universities have more info on specific requirements for med school.

In the U.S. and Canada, you do need an undergraduate degree, though I think there are occassions where individuals went to medical school after their Junior year.\n\nYou can be any major but you need to take the following:\n1 year Chemistry\n1 year Organic Chemistry\n1 year Physics\n1 year Biology\nSome schools require\nMicrobiology\nEnglish\n\nYou need about a 3.5 GPA or better.  Unless you are a minority student, there is little chance of being accepted into medical school with a GPA of less than 3.35.  Most medical schools have special programs for students of color to promote diversity within the profession.\n\nMedical school requires the MCAT admission exam.  It has three section - Biology, Physics, and Verbal.  Getting a 10 or better on each section is very competitive.\n\nGood luck!

I would like to become a doctor, possibly an OB/GYN as well. As well as taking all required classes for high school graduation, you should definitely take biology, chemistry, physics, and anatomy/physiology (do Advanced Placement if possible to posibly exempt yourself from that college credit in order to take more classes then). Be sure to take as high mathematics courses as possible (trust me, they will come in handy). A health class is ALWAYS required for all high school students, so you need to take that. If your school has a medical program, be sure to take it (I will take it in 12th grade, I will be in the 11th grade this year). Although youshould take all high-level classes, try to place more emphasis on math and science classes. This should help you be on your way to a medical career!!
