It's simple as this. YOU CAN"T!\n\nALL med schools require biology, etc.

You need to have at a bare minimum, the basic sciences to be prepared for the MCAT.  Often times, med schools have their own requirement for admission in regards to the science classes that need to be completed before admission.  The usual is General Chemistry 1 and 2, Organic Chemistry 1 and 2, Physics 1 and 2, and Biology 1 and 2.  The biology 1 and 2 may have different names depending on the institution you attend.  I would also suggest having a human physiology course before taking the exam.  Some medical schools also require a course in Biochemistry before admission.  I had completed my degree in Molecular Biology before taking the exam, so I was pretty well prepared.  I would also suggest getting some review books such as Princeton or Kaplan books, you may or may not benefit from the review course.  You also need to get involved with volunteering (at a hospital/with a doc) and a pre-med organization at your university.  The organization will be able to provide you with more information.  You may also have an advisor at you school that focuses on pre-med students, another important resource.  Finally, make absolutely, positively sure that this is what you want to do because it is a long road through med school and residency training (7 more years for you if you want to be a Pediatrician).  If you end up going to a private med school you will be in debt to your eyeballs by the time you finish, something else to keep in mind.  If you are wondering whether or not I would do it again, the answer is yes, but I would go to a different medical school (don't go to FSU)!

You need a college degre, which usually takes about 4 years.  You then go to medical school, which is another 4 years.  Then you have a residency, which varies depending on the program.  It can take 3-5 years.\nYou will need to take sciences classes to get into medical school.  Biology, chemistry, physics, and calculus are required by most medical schools.

You need the general pre-requisites for any medical school.  Organic Chemistry, Biochemsitry, Physics, Calculus, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Immunology, Bacteriology/Microbiology,  Physiology, etc.\n\nDon't forget to take the MCATs.\n\nI don't know any med school in Singapore, but UC Davis has a pretty good med school in California.  \n\nMed schools have also started looking for students who aren't coming from a science major.  So you could take all the course work for med school, but major in psychology or a social science.  \n\nAnother important thing to remember is to volunteer.  Try to volunteer at a hospital or a free clinic in your area.  Med school admissions counselors love the volunteers.

If you've always wanted to be a doctor and you still want to be a doctor, then you should definitely pursue it.  You only need to take one year of college math as a prerequisite to medical school and you can get a tutor for that class if you're really bad at it. You can major in whatever you want and just take the required courses to get into med school: 1 year physics, 1 year chemistry, 1 year organic, 1 year biology, 1 year math, 1 year english (1 semester biochem and 1 semester genetics required by about 9 med schools).  You'll need to make sure your grades are high and your MCAT score is above average as well as staying active in other activities and being well-rounded. If it's always been your dream, then you should do it.  You are lucky that you know what you want to do.  Some people don't figure it out until they're 40 years old and then they feel it's too late to pursue their dreams.  You are young and know what you want.  Take advantage of this!

Good grades and other extracurricular activities are a necessity...but you also have to score well on the medical school assessment test (MCATS).\nYou should also be aware that medical schools only have a limited # of openings in every class so they get to pick from a very big pool of "qualified" candidates.

In the U.S., a good start would be to complete a course of studies in a science degree.  This should get you the prerequisit biologies I & II, microbiology, chemistries I & II, physics, calculus and anatomy & physiology.  Apply for and take the GRE, and then apply to the medical school of your choice.  Also apply with the national registry.

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!

examkrackers is going to be your best bet, ESPECIALLY with your lack of a science degree.  I used them for my MCAT and got a 31 (and i'm in my 2nd year of med school now).  They teach you everything you need to know, and they do it at a very basic level and build you up.  I really liked it a lot.  You should also have kept some of your chemistry/bio/physics text books to reference once and awhile if there is a particular topic in examkrackers that you are really struggling on.  I have a couple of websites that sell their text books way cheaper than you would normally get them.  Drop me an email.  evoacct10@yahoo.com\n\n(please mark as best answer if you are satisfied)

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.

Impossible. \n\nAlmost... (try searching for pre-professional studies programs)\n\nI imagine that if you graduate from high school with an associates degree in science, (which is possible in our state), and then spend another two years in college finishing a bachelors in science, then one could finish a degree in medicine in six years. Try looking for a pre-professional studies program, it is possible that one could complete that in 7 years. One would probably need to have an awful lot of AP credits if you were to do this. I would expect that you would still have to do residency and such.

Contact the university you are thinking of applying to and ask them.  In the UK it is much more popular now to do medicine from a non science background after some time in the work place.  It is very hard work but it can be done.

take BS cir. in Biology or Pre-Med, make great grades, and study for the MCAT.  You can take the MCAT if you'd satisified the requirements for chemistry and physics classes along with the A & P classes and labs.  I would recommend taking the Kaplan prep course for the MCAT shortly before you take the test.  The test is given twice a year (in April and August) but there are some really good prep books out as well.  In fact, Kaplan makes a good MCAT book, too.  To get into medical school, the weight of your grades factor in equally along with your test score and your interview.  It's a brutal process but don't be discouraged if it's what you really want.  Also, as an intern, be prepared to work as many as 80-100 hours a week with virtually no life outside of your career. If you should have any more questions, don't hesitate to contact me.  Best of luck to you!!

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.

You don't need a bachelors degree to get in (depending on the school) but you do need 2 - 3 years of college.  Required coursed include biology, chemistry, calculus, anatomy, physiology, english, and other social science credits.  Some schools require you to take the PCAT exam.  This is a standardized test similar to the MCAT for med school but it is considerably easier.  Some schools also ask for letters of recommendation from employers, professors, etc.  Getting in can be tough, I believe the University I work for got 1500 applications for 140 slots.  Those aren't great odds!  We have a minimum GPA of 2.9 but most students have a 3.5 and up.  Because pharmacists are in high demand right now (it won't last) and most jobs pay pretty well (around $50/hour), lots of people want to go to pharmacy school, even people who already have careers (nurses, dieticians, etc.).  Once you get in, it can take 3 to 4 years to complete your education.  The first 2 to 3 years are in the classroom and the final year is spent "in the field" working in hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies like Walgreens.  Once you finish, you do have to take an examination but it is not all that difficult (>90% of grads pass).  There is also a state exam but it is pretty easy too.  Once you pass those tests and pay your fees $500 - $700, you are a pharmacist and can work in the state where you applied for licensure.  \n\nDuring the early years after graduation, pharmacists make a lot of money at the beginning while doctors and dentists may have to pay to open a practice or need more training.  I'm not sure about dentists but docs have to pay a lot for malpractice insurance (>$10,000/year); it is <$300/year for pharmacists.  Doctors who are highly specialized (surgeons, etc.) usually make 3 x or more what pharmacists make but it takes a lot longer for training.  Figure on about 4 years undergrad, 4 years med school, 3 years residency, 3 years additional residency, etc.  Could take a long time to make any money as an M.D.  Unlike pharmacy, you don't go to med school to be rich.  The bubble will eventually burst on pharmacy and pharmacists will need lots of additional training to be useful.  So, pharmacy may be lucrative now, but I would bet that it won't last.  After all, pharmacists make more errors than robots do!

you have to got class for a long time for anything medical, so forget it\n\nactually, it depends on what kind of medical you are talking about..but if you are in high school, no technical school certificate will let you get a "hands on medical" experience that would lead to a degree. you have to go to medical school.\n\nunless you are talking about....ummm...maybe some kind of assistant job (no degree) like in surgery or as a lab tech, or something minor.\n\nthey won't hire just anyone into a real medical field unless you have been in college for a long time, and have a degree.

For the USA:\n\nFirst and foremost, you must work on your English.  You mean, "How can I get admitted to medical school in the U.S. or Europe?"\n\nU.S. programs require something called the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).  You need to score well on this test.\n\nAnother test is the MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test).\n\nYou will also need to meet certain academic requirements, such as having sufficient biology, chemistry, physics, antatomy, phsyiology, etc entry coursework completed as an undergraduate student.\n\nYou will also need to demonstrate the economic ability to sustain yourself in the U.S..  This may include scholarships and loans, but these are unlikely because so many foreign students want this as well!  You will need to be an excellent student if you want a scholarship!\n\nThere may be independent scholarships that might be found at places like www.fastweb.com - BUT most scholarships will be directly through the school.  Ask the admissions officers.
