Candace’s Answer

Awesome that you are considering Medicine as a career!! To get in medical school you have to complete college, typically with a biology or chemistry degree but you can do a different degree as long as you get the pre-Med prerequisites. You will have to take the MCAT during or after college and once you apply and get into medical school you will spend 4 years there. During that time you will determine your specialty which will determine your residency and additional training. So it is a commitment but definitely worth it. Congratulations and continued success!!
