Evangeline’s Answer

Any health/stem degree is typically a safe bet. (think biology, chemistry, ect) Most will automatically fulfill the pre-reqs for med school and expose you to things on the MCAT. Studying for the MCAT can take someone anywhere from 3-4 months, but this also depends on how much you remember from your classes and how much you have to review. For studying in general, I'd say having a routine is the best route. Find some time in between classes when you can go to a library and sit down. Make it a habit so you don't skip it. To answer your last question, the reason we are lacking healthcare workers is that it's hard. No one wants to do hard degrees, and higher education is so expensive that the people who do want to do those hard degrees can't afford it. It sucks, but that's why it's so important to bring awareness to it and make it more accessible for people to go into the medical field.
