Hi Peixin!

As a high school student the best way you can start preparing for a career in medicine is shadowing or volunteering in a hospital or doctors office. These experiences will not only prepare you for a career in medicine but also allow you to determine your specific interests within the large medical field. Of course you also want to make sure you are doing well in high school so you can go to college and have the skills to do well in college as well. Hope this helps!

Hi Peixin! It's great to hear that you want to get a head start in preparing for medical school. As a high schooler, I would recommend that you take science courses, especially AP science courses, such as biology, chemistry, physics, and psychology. These courses will help prepare you for the basic science courses you'll be taking in college. In fact, if you score well on the AP exams, your college or university may give you college credit and/or allow you to skip the first level of these courses, allowing you to move to more advanced courses earlier on. I would also highly suggest getting involved in the medical field to make sure that a career in medicine is really what you want to pursue. This can mean volunteering at a hospital or clinic, shadowing doctors, and/or doing research.

Grace’s Answer

In high school, my advice would be to take advanced science and math courses offered at your school. This will help you figure out if you are passionate about studying these areas and can also boost your transcript to potentially allow you to skip certain classes in college. I took AP Biology my senior year of high school, which satisfied my basic science requirement in college - this meant I could focus on other electives or more advanced classes once I got to college. You can also see if there are internship opportunities or even a day to "shadow" somebody at a local hospital, doctor's office, or lab in your hometown.
