What is the best major for Medical School?
I hear a lot of people choose majors other than pre-med/biology based majors even though they plan to take the MCAT and go to medical school. I am currently thinking about being a biochemistry major or entering the engineering department and am wondering whether that will have a significant impact on my MCAT score and getting into medical school. #premed #engineering #medical-practice #medicine

Are internships widely avaliable for students who also have a heavy courseload??

Is it harder for D.O.'s to get the same respect as M.D.'s?
I've recently become interested in #osteopathic #medicine. The philosophy of treating patients as a whole instead of just symptoms appeals to me. However, I've heard that it may be hard for D.O.'s to find residencies that are not biased. I hadn't even heard of D.O.'s until a year ago, neither have many people that I know. Will this effect how I will be seen as a #doctor? #premed #premedical #premedicine #physician #medical-practice #medschool #medical-school #holistic

What sparks one's calling towards a career?
For most teenagers today, its very confusing and mentally challenging choosing a career path for one's whole future. For me, I want to go into the medical field. I am currently in my school's CNA and CMAA certification program. Just this week when I went to a nursing home for hours, the conditions weren't great. It had me thinking of my future and if medical is really where I should go. On the other hand, Summer 2016 I attended a medical camp where I learned skills and important information on health careers. When on a trip to the New York College of Medicine, I held a human heart in my own two hands. I was sure this was my calling. At this point after being hands on, I need reassurance. #medical-practice #medicine #doctor #futuredoctor

What kinds of careers exist for those passionate about both medicine and politics/law?
Hi! I am a current junior with a passion for law and medicine and am working towards an international career that involves advocacy and research. Unlike the process of becoming a doctor, the pathway to my dream profession is not as clearly defined. Now that I'm halfway through my college journey, I would love some advice because I have no idea what kinds of places would be looking to employ a student with an International Relations and Global Health double major. I would love to hear more about careers that are involved in both politics and healthcare with an emphasis on how one might get there. How much schooling would one of these careers usually require? Would you recommend attending graduate school, and if so, should it be for both a medical degree and a law degree (MD/JD)? Or would a Masters in Public Health (MPH) suffice for these career fields? What kinds of internships or research opportunities might you have heard of for those with my similar interests? Thanks in advice for the life-changing insight! #medicine #law #politics #graduate-school #law-school #medical-practice #international #globalization
What steps are necessary to become an anesthesiologist?
I don’t come from a family of money or a family in the medical career. Honestly I don’t want to become an anesthesiologist for the interest but I have learned that anything I focus towards I grow to love that subject and a job like anesthesiology is something not many people will do, but I will go above and beyond to pursue this career if it means to support my loved ones who can’t support themselves, that is my true goal. #anesthesiology #family-dentistry #medical-practice #hospital-and-health-care #healthcare #medicine
