How can I become a teacher and doctor?
Is there a way I can become a teacher but also be a DO(Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine)? I've always wanted to become a teacher who teaches special ed kids or music, but at the same time, I've also always wanted to be a helper of some sort. I figured a DO would be the best for me because I don't want just to show them how to use medicine I want to show them that they can do other things than just be on medication.

New Zealand HSFY, is L3 physics really important?
Hi! For all those New Zealanders out there that can help, I am planning on doing Health Science First Year in Otago next year and I have taken all the recommendations but L3 Physics. Last year I did not take L2 Physics so I am in year 13 and taking L2 Physics this year. Someone did recommend me that Jumpstart course in the summer for 6 weeks but I can't do that so will I be extremely disadvantaged? Will it be harder for me to get into medicine because I really want to get into medicine.

What courses should I take in High School in order to get into Medical School? What Advice would you give to an 10th grader that wants to get into the medical field? Could I get a Volunteer Job at a Pharmacy, Medical Office, or a Hospital at 14-15?
I am M/15 I recently got into high school and gets good grades as I achieved high honors. I have been consistent at math, getting 100 in geometry, 93 and above in science and over 93s in all classes including the 5 100s I have. My GPA is a 96-98 average, and I would say I am one of the smartest in the class if not the smartest in Geometry. I study Chemistry in my free time, and I am taking Living Enviromint, but my teacher teaches Biology. Some of the smartest kids in Senior classes come back to my science teacher and thank him. I take chemistry next year and my schedule is full, I don't have any lunch breaks nor any free periods. I have 2 options currently, I used to want to be an engineer and I am actually really good, I fix electronics for a living and help my school with problems. I got offered to be an Intern too at my high school, but since technology changes quick and new certificates come out fast, I don't think it would be good. The medical field is still and barely changes. I Really want to volunteer but have no clue how at 15. Also, What is some procedures/ Classes I should take in Highschool to make it into medical or pharmacy school faster? Thank you!
