What should a medical doctor study to proceed in a field other than clinical medicine?

It depends on what other fields you are interested in: research, teaching, consulting, etc... That question is too broad. What are your interests?

A medical doctor is someone who has studied and completed medical school, and therefore is permitted to use the initials M.D. after their name.\nAfter medical school, someone has to do practical study in their chosen field of medicine, called an internship or residency.  After they complete this, and pass another exam, they may go into medical practice.

It matters what interests you.  Me, personally, the brain interests me, so I would like to be in the field of neurology.  I know two other people who would rather go into pharmacy and cardiology, but that was their choices, and not mine.

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

Pharmacy is more chemistry oriented. For medical, you will have to take it to know which medications to prescribe, but the majority of your studies will be biology and anatomy.  Try speaking with a counselor at your school, they can help alot =]

Biology or Chemistry or a devoted pre-med program as offered by some schools.  Pre-med isn't so much a major as a set of courses recommended by the AMA - it includes general Chemistry, Physics, and Biology, Organic Chemistry, Calculus and higher level electives in chemistry and/or biology, as well as courses in literature and writing.\n\nYou might also consider taking a course in Latin - any number of med students say that it either did help them or that they wish they had taken one.  It's not essential, but given the amount of Latin used in medical terminology, at least being familiar with the language will make studying and your recognition of terms easier.  Some universities offer Latin for Pre-meds or something similar - I think that it's less about grammar and more about vocabulary.

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.

1) Is not something unreachable, you can do it! The most important word is perseverance. If medicine is your passion, go for it, its wonderful. \n\n2) Biology, Genetics, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Anatomy and Physiology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics, Calculus, Psychology, Economy, etc. Try to do any kind of science-research. And enjoy college, family and friends, because the hard thing about studying medicine is not the hard work you have to put into your studies  The hard thing is to learn how to overcome the frustrations and to make a balance between your every-day-life (family, friends, boyfriend or girlfriend, church, etc) and med-school.  (time-management --> very important) \n\n3)You can go to the MCAT page to see all the med-schools in your area.

Dermatology would be my top choice.  The other fields require working or being on-call 24 hrs a day.  There are less emergencies in the dematology field, so there would be a better chance of just working regular office hours, thus giving you a chance to have a normal life outside of work.
