Sheila’s Answer

Hello Sammy:

My son recently graduated from medical school and is now a Resident Pediatrician. Here are some key steps he took on his journey that may be of importance to you. . .
1) Make high scores on the SAT & ACT exams
2) Select a college/university that offers at least "Biological Science" (you don't have to major in Pre-Med)
3) Score well on the MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test) exam the "first time"
4) Apply to "all" the medical schools of interest
5 a) 4 years of Medical School
5 b) Find an Internship (paid or volunteer) over a summer
5 c) DO NOT limit yourself to where you would like to get residency Matched
6 a) 3 years of Residency
6 b) Fellowship is approximately 3 to 4 years

I wish you much success on your journey. Good luck to you!
