CLT= MLT\n\nYou would just talk to your closest community college.  It actually is my major.  First you take all your supporting courses like your maths, and englishes and communication and then you get registered in the MLT program cause theres only space for like 20. After registration start your actual MLT classes like Intro to MLT which goes over routine tests and so forth and Microbiology (my favorite, but its difficult) and then things like pathology, anatomy and physiology, and etc.  After the first year of classes, you start taking clinicals after a physical, and then after a year of clinicals you have to take an exam for MLTS. Good luck on your search.

you'll need to attend a 4 year college where you MUST take\n1. 1 year of general chemistry\n2. 1 year of organic chemistry\n3. 1 year oh physics\n4. 1 year of biology\ndepending on the medical school you choose, you may also need a semester of math, english, and a humanity (history, philosophy, ect.)\n\nyou also need to take the MCAT during your junior year of college. the mcat tests your ability to retain knowledge, and be able to apply it to an unfamiliar situation. which is essentially what doctors do.\n\nthe test is divided into 4 sections, physical science (half physics and half general chemistry), biological science (2/3 biology and 1/3 organic chemistry), verbal reasoning, and a writing section.\nphysical science, bio science, and verbal are each scored on a scale of 1-15 points. so a 45 is the maximum. to get into medical school, you need a 30, meaning at least a 10 from each section. writing is scored by a letter grade from J to T (j being the worst, t the best)\nso your score looks like this: 32P \nthe MCAT is an 8 hour test, and by the time you take it, it will be on the computer.\n\nduring medical school you'll study your anatomy, biochemistry, virology, ect, mostly during your first two years, then your last two years you do rotations, meaning you get to try all the medical specialties like surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, ect. \nyou graduate medical school.\nthen you get to discover the circus that is the match. \nyou apply for a specialty, pediatrics, at a certain hospital where you will be taught the ins and outs of your specialty. you'll be an md, but you'll essentially be "in training" for a number of years. \noh yes, the USMLE (us medical licensing exam) which has 3 steps, which you need to take to be an official doctor. the first two steps are taken during med school, the last one is taken during your residency.\nafter you complete your residency you try to get a "real" doctor spot, which is called an attending position, where you treat your own patients and have your own group of doctor wannabees to train.\n\nthrer's a LOT that i haven't covered, but that's everything in a nutshell.\n\ngood luck.

Go to college first!  You don't have to be a"pre-med/biology" major- actually, medical schools like to have applicants who majored in non-science fields- but make sure you take the med school prerequisites (usually a bunch of science classes including organic chem, physics, some math).  Don't listen to what other people say, do what it is that interests you.

Good luck finding an accredited school that will offer you A&P without a lab.  This a class that would be very difficult to obtain without a lab portion.  You might get one that is an intro, but you would be hard pressed to find a college that would accept it if it not earned with a lab.\n\nI hope you find one though.

You just need to take a College Prep load and get good grades.  From there try to pick a college where you can get a Biology or Chemistry in premed undergrad degree.  It's best if you get your undergrad from the same school where you want to go to med school because most schools wave the interview and the testing for admissions if you've already gotten your undergrad from them.  It's a long road starting with good grades and a heavy interest in biology and chemistry in high school.

If you want to become a medical doctor you need to get a bachelor's degree first, then you apply to medical school and get a doctor of medicine degree.\n\n\nHere are some websites that tell you all about the process:\nhttp://www.mommd.com/becomingaphysician.shtml\n\nhttp://www.drtracey.net/becomingMD.html

The link below will get you to the class schedule, but you will have to do the search for yourself.  What you're looking for exactly will depend on the particular health profession you're interested in.\n\nIf what you want to know is the different programs which they offer, see the second link.  But, again, you'll have to read the list for yourself to see if it includes the particular health profession you are seeking.

I don't know any schools in your area but I have some info that might help.\n\nCheck the local hospitals as they might have a school there as well as the local technical colleges. \n\n Besides from the grades, you need a background in chemistry and anatomy.  So if you don't have those classes you should take them before you can even get into the program.  You also need to have experience in hospital setting and if that means volunteering at hospitals or old age homes, get out and do it.  The more you have the better they will look at you.\n\nIn my area, the wait list is about 2 years long to get into the program and you have to have prereqs done before you can even apply to get onto the wait list.  \n\nWhen you find the school you'd like to attend they should have a course guideline that will tell you the classes you need to finish your degree.\n\nHope this link helps.\n\nGood luck in your career change.

To be a medical doctor, you have to be trained in a medical school. It is a long and arduous process. \n\nTo prepare for this, one should study as hard as possible in school and get good grades, especially in the sciences. One should study biology if possible. If you can get some sort of internship ahead of time helping in a medical lab, it can be helpful.

Qualifications to be a computer lab technician is very minimal. Responsibilities may include.\nMonitor lab use.\nAbility to install software on existing systems.\nConnect, troubleshoot, and work with other peripherals.\nI would take an A+ course to prepare yourself to be able to troubleshoot hardware issues and understand a client operating system. Knowledge of most commonly used applications such as in the Microsoft Office Suite.\n\nComputer Technician: Install, maintain, support hardware and client operating systems. Course of study - A+ certification.

Biology, Chemistry, Microbiology.  Chemistry IS rough, but you have to do it if you want this as a career...both P Chem and Orgo.  You can take the classes you enjoy for political science for your "CORE" credits or consider double majoring.  Or don't listen to me...I have a degree in bioanthropology and I ended up being a logistician for the government.  Go figure.  :D

If you want to work in forensics, you need biology, anatomy, and chemistry.  Check with a counselor at your college or university, to see what your major should be.  Good luck.

Med school is just med school for the first few years--you can take extra classes in your desired area of specialization, but everyone at a given school completes a standard basic set of classes--it is more structured than undergraduate studies.  During your M3 and M4 years you will have the opportunity to take a couple electives in your desired area of specialization and then once you graduate you'll be able to apply for internship and residency positions in radiology.\n\nIf you want to be a radiologist you should pursue a standard pre-medical curriculum (1 year of physics, 1 year of inorganic chemistry, 1 year of organic chemistry, 1 year of calculus, 1 year of biology, and 1 year of English) in addition to your desired major.\n\nYou should also make connections now with people in the medical field in order to shadow doctors (several dozen hours minimum) and to volunteer in clinical settings (several hundred hours is desirable).\n\nYou can go to medical school with ANY college major as long as you have completed the pre-med requirements listed above, so if you are enjoying your current major, stick with it.\n\nVisit http://www.studentdoctor.net -- it is an excellet source of information for pre-med students.\n\nGood luck!

I am a Medical Technologist and at this time, if you want to work in the field, go to a regular colleg or university.  Most employers as of yet don't recognize on line education.  Also there is a lot of practical lab training involved which just can't be done online

Biology.  Almost all the programs only require chemistry through organic, which is also a prerequisite in most biology majors.  Biochemistry itself deals precisely with diseases, helps alot with epidemics.  Most programs only recommend biochemistry at the college level.  Much more important is going to be cellular/genetic, so things such as microbiology, anatomy/physiology, and the like.  The link for my source is a link to such a CLS program.  (Clinical Labratory Science.)

You can have pretty much any major that you want. Many colleges will shunt their undergraduates into traditional "premedical" majors such as biology, biochemistry, or chemistry. But medical schools only require a few basic science courses for admission:\nChemistry\nBiology\nOrganic Chemistry\nPhysics\n\nSo, as long as you get in these courses then you can major in anything. The advantage of majoring in science is that it will make it somewhat easier to deal with the science in medical school. The down side is that science is all they teach you in medical school, so that having an undergraduate major in something else gives you some depth, and could even be helpful to you as a pediatrician (for example, a psychology major, or an anthropology major).\n\nSince good grades are so important to getting into medical school, picking a major that you like is really important. SO, be guided by what you like, take the science requirement, and try to be a well-rounded undergraduate student. And, get good grades from the start.
