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.

That's what I want to do when I get out of college. \nDoes anyone know:\n1) What classes I need to take in high school and college-  I suggest you take your math and chem courses in high school.  If they offer foreign language, take that.  If they offer a basic Psych course, take that.\n\nIn college, you'll need to be Pre-med and as a result will have to take all of the required science-math courses.  Pre-Med is a HUGELY competitive program.\n\n\n2) What a good college for this would be-  any college with a strong pre-med and child development program.  I would look toward Private Schools.  They test to place better on the assessment tests.\n\n3) Do I really have to become a medical doctor first (like one who works in hostipitals)\n\nYes and no.  You'll be required to intern and the hospital is an excellent place for internship.  Private practices usually tend to fail within the first few years unless the doc is working two jobs.\n\n4) about how long will i be in school if I go year round (no summer breaks) \n\nYear-round school is expensive.  Typically, schools charge by the class.  In the summer, classes tend to run more than in-session classes (unless you take your summer classes as a community college, and then, you have to make sure all of the credits will transfer).\n\nI suggest you look into a school that runs in quarters not semesters.\n\nHowever, unlessyou're Doogie Houser, expect to graduate with an undergraduate Pre-Med degree within 3-4 years.\n\nMasters programs can run from 1-2 years.  Pre-med from 2-4 years.

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.

I haven't attended med school myself so I can't help you much in terms of a personal anecdote. I hope to one day go to med school too (I'm currently only 17 now). Good luck to you!\n\nAs you probably already know, there are three sections in which you can earn 15 points each. To be considered competitive, you probably want to score a 10 or 11 in each section.\n\nWhen you do take the MCAT, you can find out if your scores are competitive by going here: http://www.studentdoc.com/medfind.html

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.

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 :)

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!

What is SPM.  Is that like HS? You look into the Service to pay for your medical school.  I've known of a few doctors who only had to join the Military for 6 yrs after medical school in exchange for all there bills paid.  Not a bad deal.  My nephew did it and loved it.

The best answer is the truth.  Why DO you want to become a doctor?
1070283
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.

Try the internet and look up the requirements for medical school.  Not only the courses, but also the time and the cost. A lot of people say that they want to be a doctor, but don't have the motivation  or the cash to follow through.  Please don't think I'm trying to discourage you, but rather asking if you can make the necessary commitment.  Also, don't think that doctors make the tons of money that they used to.  Health care in the US is changing, and many people who became doctors are doing something else.  Make sure you know what is motivating you to become a physician.  The standard answer is "I want to help people" or "I want to be rich".  Neither is a good answer.  So after you read about the requirements, look inside yourself and try to understand not only the "how" but also the "why".\n\nBest of Luck\n\nDr. Bentley Gubar
