What is the best branch of medicine for me to specialize in?
How do I choose classes if I am not sure what branch of medicine I want to enter? I haven't even decided on human or veterinary medicine and I am a junior, so I have a very short time to decide on which schools are best for which branches of medicine. #medicine #veterinary-medicine...
How will technological advances change how medicine is practiced when I become a doctor?

I am asking this because I am trying to decide between attending community college first, which is cheaper, or going for a 4 year school which I worked really hard to get into. There's a chance that I may not be able to afford to attend a 4 year school yet, and I am nervous that attending...
