Hello Trasye, it's a pleasure to meet you! Here's a simplified guide on how I pursued my career as a clinical nutritionist:
1. Start by taking advanced courses in high school.
2. Pursue a bachelor's degree in a related field. In the medical field, specialization is key. For instance, pediatricians are doctors who focus on treating infants, children, and teenagers. In the United States, these professionals can further specialize in areas like primary care, surgery, psychiatry, and more. My journey as a clinic nutritionist was similar, involving a lengthy process with several tests to gain the right knowledge.
3. Gain practical healthcare experience and take the MCAT exam. You can acquire relevant experience through internships or special health and medical care activities. During my college years, I started as a medical student, participated in various metabolic disease activities, and eventually focused on diabetes mellitus. However, my main interest was in understanding how food intake impacts a patient's disease.
4. Apply to medical school, get accepted, and earn a medical degree.
5. Complete a residency specializing in pediatrics and consider pursuing a fellowship.
These steps can help anyone interested in becoming a specialist in the medical field. Each field requires extensive study and a unique approach, but in my experience, a high level of interest and endless curiosity are crucial. Always strive to think critically when dealing with medical issues.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Thank you!

Hi! Good morning! Ask your self and discover what is your passion, then check and be honest to your self if you're good in that passion. Then ask for advise to somebody that have success in that and go for it. The other two questions i don't know because i'm not in that field.

Good questions! The medical profession isn't a career to take lightly. It comes with a wealth of responsibility. Any Healthcare profession does but doctors and nurses especially. Think of what makes you happy...caring for others? Wanting to solve medical mysteries? Researching new and innovative ways to treat diseases or problems? Helping people fight how they were wronged? Solve or help find solutions to others issues? These could be medical, nursing, social work, law, research, etc. Find something you're passionate about. What do you like to do with free time?
Medical degrees take many years of college plus extra to go into specialty areas like pediatrics. You need a masters degree, get into medical school, 4 more years, plus internship then specialty learning and internship. But no matter what, go for your dreams, hopes, work hard, volunteer, help others, do charity work, get involved with local organizations that help others. It'll help you decide not only the right career path, but a specialty area as well. Just remember, many medical schools only take the best of the best, work hard in high-school to gain scholarships, etc. It'll help! But above all, never lose the drive of wanting to help others :-)
