This is what you need to do.\n\n1) In high school, take all the college prep courses, especially the science and math courses. You have to be good at these subjects, or choose another career.\n\n2) Four years of Pre-Med, with emphasis on a bachelor's degree in bilogy, or chemistry.\n\n3)If you are fortunate enough to get accepted into med-school, you have 4 years of hard work studying the general  aspects of medicine and general surgery.\n\n4) After you get your MD's degreeyou will have to pass a medical board to practice medicine as an intern in a hospital. After the one year internship is over, you can opt to become a generalpractioner, if that is your fancy. \n\n5) If you want to be a specialist in a medical field, such as internal medicine, you have a 3-5 year residency at a hospital, before you can get board certified in your area of specialization.

This really depends on the college that you go to, the best place to go would be to check with some kind of health sciences advisor.\n\nBut with that said, there are certain classes that are needed for the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), which most medical schools require you to take.\n\nYou'll need 1 year of some kind of introductory biology, 1 year of general chemistry, 1 year of physics, 1 year of organic chemistry, and some biochemistry/genetics/other classes as well. There is a writing portion on the MCAT as well, and some schools require 1 year of English.\n\nThe easiest way is to call an advisor and set up an appointment, ask them what you need to take to get into medical school, good luck :)

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.

1st of all, UC Davis and U of Iowa are two of the best universities for the field you are considering.  2nd: the other answer is correct: although doctors have terrible handwriting, spelling, especially grammar and diction, are of utmost importance to the field.  I would focus on linguistics, computer science and biochemistry/biology during your undergraduate study, meaning pick one of these fields and focus on it while taking classes and earning minors or certifications within the others, and then consider your options for medical school.  It is insanely difficult to gain acceptance to medical school, and the first step is confidence.  If you focus on the right classes and keep a GPA in high school and college of at least 3.7 on a 4.0 scale, you should do fine... but if your grades are below this range you will probably find placement in medical school extremely difficult.  Study the subjects you excel in the most to keep your grades high, and take it from there.  Good luck!

www.DrugDealers.com\n\nor you can just go the traditional way and choose a 4 year degree at a reputable university and actually go to class and study your brains out so that not only you have an excellent GPA, but that you also actually learn the information in the classes you take so that you can also get a high score on the MCAT. Then, apply to usually 10-20 different medical schools with the hopes that at least one accepts you. Study medicine for 4 years in a medical school, which most likely you won't be able to have any other life besides medical school. Then once you're done with 4 years of medical school you will most likely do a residency, which could possibly take another 4 years for a total of 12 years now. Then you can either start your own practice, or just work for some hospital as a doctor......\n\nbut the first website would probably be much easier....especially for you :-)

Medical schools look for candidates who are well-rounded, and academia is only one aspect of it. Yes, you need to demonstrate that you know the subject matters, but failing one class will not diminish your chance at getting into a medical school, especially since the "F" is a result of your broken leg. Having that said, you will still need to pass the class in order to qualify to apply to medical school.\n\nIf you are interested in medical school, I highly recommend you involve yourself in some extracurricular activities as soon as possible. It matters very little what you do as long as you are good at it and take a leadership role. Good luck!

What you have chosen sounds good.  In the overall scheme of things it doesn't matter a great deal what else you choose since you are only in 11th grade.  Just make sure you continue with sciences and continue to do very well in them.  Universities look at how well you do in your courses, not so much at which courses you do, as long as you have the required ones.  And you have the required ones if you have the math, the sciences, and English.  The only ones I would recommend are a psychology course and/or a statistics course if they are available to you in high school.\n\nGoodm luck with your future plans.

I would say UC Davis is the best. \n\nYou could always look up the list online, just type in top 100 medical schools in USA - then look through it for ones in Cali

Very few schools offer PRE-MED.  Get a degree in biology or any science like that.  Make  good grades.  Takes lots of math. Med school will count your GPA in college, the interview and the PSAT's score. GL and congrats on your surviving cancier.

Perhaps Yale of John Hopkins. The University of Alabama in\nBirmingham has a very good med school and their students are\ndiverse. I didn't go to school there but I knew someone who\ndid.

You are thinking of BS-MD programs. No AMERICAN school puts a high schooler straight into medical school (however, this is the practice in many parts of Asia).\n\nThese compressed programs start with an accelerated bachelor's degree, then you take the MCAT and are admitted to the med program. Most programs are 7 years, but UMKC has a 6 year program.\n\nUC Riverside and Univ. of Southern California also offer similar programs.\n\nMy best friend did the UCR program and dropped out in 2 quarters. They start with 200 students. Only 8 make it to the UCLA at the end. This is because you will be taking a lot of hard classes at once, and you will be fighting to keep your grades up as well as stay sane.

I would hope in a good medical school!!

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 need to do 4 years of college. You can major in anything but need to fulfill basic core requirements: 1 year organic chemistry, 1 year general chemistry, 1 year physics, 1 year biology, 1 year math, 1 year english.  some schools also require biochemistry and genetics.  You also need to take the MCAT test and usually it's advisable to get a 30 or better on that.  Supplement all of the schoolwork with lots of quality volunteer work, patient contact, and throw in some research and a publication or two and you're on your way. Some schools offer programs where you go straight from high school into a pre-med curriculum, finish that in 3 years and move straight into the school's medical school.  But the more traditional route is the one mentioned first.

It's unclear whether you're a freshman in high school or a freshman in college, but I'm going to assume you're still in high school and answer accordingly.\n\nFirst, you asked "What are some top medical schools with a good college basketball team?" There are NO medical schools with basketball teams! The university of which a medical school is part of may have a basketball team, but only undergraduates can play on the team. Medical school is a graduate program so medical students are not eligible to play, thus, no medical school has a good basketball team!\n\nIf you want to go to medical school, you first have to get your four year college degree. You will also need to study certain courses to prepare you for medical school (bio, chemistry, math, physics) and get excellent grades. This "pre-med" curriculum is very demanding and time-consuming.\n\nCollege sports are also very demanding and time-consuming, especially at Division I and Division II schools like the U of Miami. There's constant travel and practice, and it can be very difficult to get the kind of grades in a demanding pre-med courses necessary to get into a good medical school. Can it be done? Possibly, but most students will find they'll need to choose one or the other - basketball or medical school.\n\nIf you're a freshman in high school, here's what I would suggest. Enjoy your high school basketball career, and do your best to develop your athletic talents. At the same time, however, get involved with activities that will help you decide if you really want to pursue a medical career -- volunteer at a hospital or a nursing home, talk to local doctors about their jobs, research what it takes to get into medical school. Down the road, also start finding out about the differences between the different college athletic divisions and the requirements for being a recruited college athlete (www.naca.org). Talk to your coach about whether you have the skills to be recruited, and which Division might be best for you.\n\nThis way, when the time comes to start figuring out where to apply, you'll have a clear idea of what the demands of pursuing both interests will involve. You may decide to just play basketball, you may decide to just pursue medical school, you may decide that there's a way to combine both, perhaps by playing on a college Club team or for a Division III school. But, you'll have a clearer picture of the pro's and con's of the options, and that will be the best guide which college is right for you.\n\nCarolyn Lawrence, www.AdmissionsAdvice.com

hi i started med school at age 25 with a degree in nursing , no alevels and really crap gcse (b, c,c,c,c,c,d,e,f,f), sheffield is where i am and they love mature students you should speak to mr Raftery SUB dean for admissions, sheffield medical school just google for the adress (if your interested) you may need to do the pre med year it will depend on what level your at as far as sciences.... i would not recommend you try for graduate entry (4 yr course) very competitive \nbut basically med school for 5/6 years, foundation f1, f2  2years, then you specialise (eg medicine/surgery) and work up through senior posts to consultant, can take from 8-15 years depending on your skill and speciality..... if you are interesed in doing medicine write to all the med schools explaining your current academic situation(cv) and say why you want to be a doctor, on my course there is a 42 yr old who was an IT consultant who decided at age 37 that he wanted to work with people and was interested in the management and treatment of diseases...good luck..
