I am going to study biology on a pre-med track at Vanderbilt next fall, and I want to do whatever I can to become the best doctor possible. I would love to find some sort of program to put me ahead of the game. #pre-med #internship #vanderbilt #medicine #hospital-and-health-care l

Is focus on a specific field or exploration of many different fields better for getting into med school?

I'm interested in being either a researcher or a doctor/surgeon of some sort. #pre-med #research #medicine #hospital-and-health-care

Do I absolutely need to take bio,Chem and physics in high school to become a doctor?

I'm currently in grade 10 but in September I will be in grade 11. I was wondering if I absolutely need to take bio,Chem and physics in high school to become a doctor? Can I just take science 20? Will I not become a doctor if I don't take these courses in high school? #doctor #medicine #science #university #pre-med #high-school

Is it fine to pursue a degree outside of medicine if you want to have a career in medicine?

My name is Anthony, and I am a senior in high school. I initially thought I wanted to study biomedical engineering because most of the courses fulfill medical school requirement, but now, I have found other majors that peak my interests, such as Biological Sciences, Anthropology and Africana and African-American Studies. I hear reports that say that your major is not that important and others that say it makes you more appealing due to not only focusing on medicine. #college #doctor #pre-med #surgeon

I realized that when applying to med school, some people do research and write papers. Out of curiosity, why do they need to conduct research and what could it be about? Lastly, is it required to conduct research?

Is a B.A/M.D combined program worth it, or is the traditional 4 year pre med then med school route better?

I am a honors/straight A student, and I do well in high stress environments and do well in science classes. Also I want to do surgery for reference, so I’m thinking a ba/md program would help save time. #pre-med #college #doctor
