Ophthalmologists are medical doctors who have completed medical school and embark on a training schedule that generally lasts four years after medical school in most countries. Many ophthalmologists also undergo additional specialized training in one of the many subspecialities. Ophthalmology was the first branch of medicine to offer board certification, now a standard practice among all specialties.\n\nIn the United States, four years of training after medical school are required, with the first year being an internship in surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, or a general transition year. The scope of a physician's licensure is such that he or she need not be board certified in ophthalmology to practice as an ophthalmologist. The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) promotes the use of the phrase "Eye MD" to distinguish ophthalmologists from optometrists who hold the degree OD (Doctor of Optometry). (This, however, sometimes leads to confusion among patients, since a few ophthalmologists' primary medical degree is a D.O., or Doctor of Osteopathy, rather than an M.D. In both cases, the same residency and certification requirements must be fulfilled.)\nIn the United Kingdom, There are four Colleges that give post graduate degree. Royal college of Ophthalmologists which gives MRCOphth and FRCOphth (postgraduate exams), Royal college of Edinburgh which gives MRCSED, Royal college of Glasgow which gives FRCS and Royal college of Ireland which gives FRCSI. One of theses are required for specialisation in eye diseases.\n\nIn Australia and New Zealand, the FRACO/FRANZCO is the equivalent postgraduate specialist qualification. They do not generally accept outsiders with equivalent qualifications and require repeat training on case by case basis.\n\nIn India, a Junior Residency at a Medical College or Institution leading to degree of Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) or Master of Surgery (M.S.), or Diplomate of National Board (D.N.B.) degree, or a diploma course leading to (Diploma in Ophthalmic Medicine and Surgery (D.O.M.S.) in Ophthalmology is necessary before one can expertly deal with various problems of the eye.\n\nIn Pakistan, there is a residency program leading into FCPS which is composed of two parts.\n\nIn Canada, an Ophthalmology residency and FRCSC is the requirement for becoming a licenced Ophthalmologist. There are about 10 seats per year in whole of Canada for Ophthalmology residency.

Find a supervisor with research interest that is in the same line as you are. Email them and find out if they are looking for students to do research, and tell them u're interested, submit your qualification, if you are desperate, drop by to UBC to see them to show them u mean it.

If you haven't already gotten your Masters or PhD (because you sound like you're certainly qualified to do so), I would suggest a part time career solution. Go overseas and volunteer with an NGO for a while. There, you will probably be able to get some hands-on experience, as well as a feel for the political and social issues at rift in the area. All this will look great on a resume and could lead to a very prosperous career in research in the future.

Start working.\n\nOr \n\nGo for full graduate degree. B.A., then M.A. and then Ph.D.

Wow that one is tough. I am a clinical Psychology graduate student. Most graduate programs in clinical only offer PhD degrees so make sure you are willing to go to school for 5-6 more years (yes...5 to 6!). Also, clinical psychology programs are hot right now and are currently more difficult to get into than med school (about a 5% acceptance rate as of this past year or so). Most programs require a BA in psychology or at least a strong background in psychology. However, you can still get in! Look at programs carefully. Perhaps your unique knowledge base would compliment a certain field of psychological research, or a certain program's orientation. Lots of programs like to get students from very diverse backgrounds, so your business degree may be am unexpected strength. Best of luck!

There isn't such a thing.  I would suggest you find out what the correct name of the degree you are looking to attain and go from there.

Here are some basic steps, all of which are essential:\n\n1) Identify scholars in your field whose work (METHOD and/or AREA of specialization) you admire.   Google their names, and find out where they teach, and whether their university has a graduate program.  If not, FIND OUT WHERE they did their graduate study.  <---------  (This step is SO important.)\n\n2) Speak to your current professors, especially those in your field of study whose METHODOLOGIES and/or AREAS OF SPECIALIZATION you find congenial.  Ask them which grad programs they'd recommend for you.\n\n3) Research graduate schools.  Barron's publishes reference guides for every field, identifying every graduate program in that field.  It is COMPLETELY worth the investment to buy those guides, but if you simply cannot, the academic advising office at your university, or your university's library, should carry up-to-date versions of these guides.\n\n3) Using the advice of your professors, your knowledge of where the top scholars in your area studied, and the appropriate Barron's guide, narrow down your options to five or so schools.   Visit the websites of these schools, and find as much information as you can about their graduate programs in your area of study.  Get all the answers to your basic questions here.\n\n4) Contact the DIRECTORS OF GRADUATE STUDY (not the department chairs) at these schools.  Email inquiries are best, but telephone calls are  fine.  Apprise them of your interest, and after introducing yourself and familiarizing them with your particular area of interest, ask if you might correspond with them and/or speak to them about some other questions you have.  In your next email or telephone appointment, ask these questions:\n\nAre campus visits encouraged?  (Some programs can even help you defray the cost of your visit, but don't ask this question outright.  The graduate director will tell you if funds are available.)\nWhat are the particular resources this program has pertaining to your specific area of scholarly interest?\nDo most students complete the program?\nOf those that do, what do these students do afterwards?\nIs there strong mentoring of students by the faculty in the program?\nAre there language requirements?\nIs the thesis (or portfolio, depending on the program) requirement integrated into the program? How?\nAre most students who are accepted into the program supported? Does this support include full tuition remission? Is there a stipend? \nAre stipends only given to teaching or research assistants?\nIs there a separate method to apply for an assistantship?\nCan non-funded students serve as teaching or research assistants?\n\nIf you follow these steps to the letter, you should be able to narrow down your choices to those four or five grad schools, and you should have all the information you need to begin application.\n\nI promise that this is the best darn advice you could possibly receive.\n\nBest wishes!

Masters to PhD level Astronomy would be your main route to that.  Most of the researchers these days hold PhDs in Astronomy, Astrophysics, or Physics, although for planetary studies (solar system) there are other ones as well.\n\nIt depends on the school's exact programs, sometimes everything that would lead to this type of career is centered on the Astronomy department, and sometimes it is spread out over several different departments.\n\nTo start off with though you'll want a good undergraduate background in physics, since everything in the field builds off of that.  Watch out for some undergraduate astronomy programs.  They tend to be hit or miss.  The good ones will wind up preparing you very well in physics and methods of astronomy, some others will leave you highly deficient in the skills graduate programs will expect you to have.\n\nKeep motivated and latch onto some aspect that really grabs your attention, and work to that goal.  It's a pretty long acedemic road, but I'm having fun at the end of it now.

Ask your school and teacher from the school you just graduate from. or ask your local medical board. look up on the internet. go to the libary. go to local book store.\ngo to cvs or wallgreen drug store.etc. etc.

you can get a doctorate in fields other than medicine such as buisness, phsycology, history, the list goes on and on.  Anyone who is going for a degree past the bachelors degree is called a "graduate student"

my cousin just graduated with that same degree.  her favorite area was research, and she just got a job in a lab at a hospital where they work on diagnosis.\n\none option, anyway.

i am working on a masters in anthropology right now. i think like any profession it is important to get experience. don’t limit yourself ... do some archaeology, that is where you will find many more opportunities to work. \n\ngraduate school is no easy task, so if you are tired take a break. you will need time to pick a school and take the gre. be sure you choose your masters program carefully and i underline carefully. go and talk to the grad students … listen to what they say about the department they will tell you the truth. find out how quickly students are graduating. if they are managing it in 2 or 3 years than the professors are supportive...which is very important.\n\ntalk the graduate advisor to make sure the program they have for the area you want to study is one that you can work with. ask the advisor about funding and make sure you can get funded for at least the time that you have to take classes. its a lot easier to work outside of school once you are down to just writing your thesis… if you have to work that is.\n\ni do suggest taking some business classes if you can fit them in.\n\nyou can teach any subject where you are strong. i taught biology. i am finding the business world to like the fact that i am an anthropologists. anthropology encompasses so many things you will have a great time putting it to use.\n\nwhat made grad school more enjoyable was listening to stories about peoples travels and sharing my own. who knows you may find your thesis out there. take a break, travel, take the gre and find a school and program that is good for you!!\n\nBest wishes

Here's a place to start: http://studentaid.ed.gov/PORTALSWebApp/students/english/index.jsp&#92;\nalso, if you are getting it at a Public University, you have more funds available. There aren't a whole lot of resources for Post Grad education but there are some! Also, most schools have a Federal Perkins Loan program. I STRONGLY recommend you contact the Financial Aid dept at the school where you will get your Master's. If you haven't decided on a school yet, call one of your potentials or look at their website, there should be a resources page. GOOD LUCK!!!!

Hi there, \n\nI'm afraid your question has to be more specific. If you mean you want to pursue a career in the mentioned subjects, you must opt for a Bachelor's degree in sciences with the above subjects. And after that you can pursue Master's degree and Post Graduation (PG)\n\nI hope this is what you are asking for, but I'm afraid I wasn't of much help. Please be more specific in asking questionss next time. Bye!!\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny\n\nPS: Try posting some additional details
