Anything I can do over the summer that can improve my knowledge in the medical department?

I'm an organized person, and I've already planned a lot of things for the coming year, like taking extra classes, joining clubs, and volunteering. But I still want to do more to get ready for college. I know summer programs are a good option, but I'm not sure where to find them. Plus, I’m getting a job and taking a family vacation during the summer. I'm looking for online options or programs that can give me college credit and give me time to work with my other commitments.

Would it be better for me to take AP or IB if I want to be a pediatrician?

I am currently a freshman taking an IB course, but I have the opportunity to switch to AP. However, if I choose AP, I would need to take Latin. Unfortunately, my school does not offer many AP courses that align with my intended major, with the exception of Biology. The available AP courses offered by my school are: African American Studies, Art History, Biology, Calculus AB, Computer Science, English Language & Composition, English Literature & Composition, Environmental Science, Microeconomics, Pre-Calculus, Statistics, U.S. Government, U.S. History, and World History. After researching both options, I found limited and mixed opinions about IB online. Some sources suggest that IB does not guarantee a diploma and is exceptionally challenging. Additionally, my school requires students to stay after school each day to attend classes, which I am not sure I am willing to commit to. However, if IB is the recommended pathway for pursuing pediatrics, I am willing to take the risk. However, admission to the program is not guaranteed, and I would need to pass an exam. Given these factors, I am genuinely undecided about which path to choose. (If I should pick AP, can you please select the APs that would best suit me.)

How is it being a pediatrician? Is it a good career?

I've been wanting to be a pediatrician for the longest because I love kids, I'm good with kids and I also have a love for the medical field as well. I think it would be the best career for me because I get to work with kids and treat them as if they were my own while I try to cure them.

Is it better to be a nurse or a doctor ?

I am senior in high school already trying to apply for college but I'm still deciding to be a nurse or doctor. From what I heard from experience volunteering at a hospital right now, one of the nurses told me that being a doctor is better because they get paid more and get treated better while nurses don't get paid well but they work really hard on taking care of their patients. They said that if I can't be a doctor and go to medical school then become a nurse instead. Please let me know what y'all think. Thank you!

I want to go into the medical field but I’ve heard that getting burnt out because the path to becoming a doctor is really common, any tips on how to stay on top of everything I have to do? Also where do you go after your 4 year university when trying to get a PHD? (What’s the difference between MD and PHD?) Where do you go when you want to do your residency (is it something you register online for or do as part of wherever you go after the 4 year?)

I am currently 16 years old (I’m turning 17 this year) living in California and I’m going into my junior year of high school. J know choosing to go into such a rigorous field as the medical field won’t be easy but I trust in my decent academic performance in school so far and love for helping others. I know it might seem self centered to say I’d like to help people but as someone who’s life was made possible to actually live it rather than to just exist in it by a doctor and never getting the chance to tell them how grateful I am, I wish to take that and do it for others.
