The Path to and Residency into Forensic Pathology?
Hi, this is my first time asking for any advice so bear with me. I'm a junior in high school and I'm very concerned about how residency and the process of becoming a forensic pathologist works. Currently I'm not really set on a specific career that I want as I'm passionate about a variety of interests but one thing I'm interested in is being a forensic pathologist. My only concern is that apparently after medical school, you don't even get to choose what residency you want? I'm specifically interested in being a forensic pathologist as it pertains to medicine but also... non-living patients lol. I'm not very passionate about public service jobs and I think I'd be very unhappy if I was put into a residency where a constant state of hospitality is expected (Not saying hospitality wouldn't be required as a forensic pathologist but definitely not as much). So, I'm very interested on how this would work!! Also, my school record is fine, but I don't think it really outshines anyone else. I have never received a grade under an A, but also I've only had one AP class (AP Eng Lang & Composition) and am currently only taking one math college class. I also don't do any extracurriculars. :c I feel like this could definitely hinder any process of me trying to get into a good college, so any advice and explanations would be so-so-so appreciated. :^)

Is pursuing a career as a Psychiatrist right for me?
Hello there! I am currently a junior in high school. I am very passionate about psychology and would love to become a psychiatrist in the future. I have almost all As and A pluses, including an A in my AP Psychology class. The only problem is, I struggle in math and currently have a C- in my Trigonometry class. I am one class advanced from the average Junior course. Is it essential for me to do well in my math classes to become a Psychiatrist? I am very creative, but math has always been more difficult for me. To those Psychiatrists or Psychologists out there, do you think I have what it takes to pursue a PhD in Psychology or should I shoot for something more attainable? Also to those Psychiatrists out there, what is your work-life balance like? Is it achievable to have quality time with your family outside of work? Thank you for your time!

How will the MD-DO residency merger affect students seeking an MD and students seeking a DO, particularly those students interesting in pursuing ophthalmology?
I've has a passion for medicine for as long as I can remember. Due to my medical history and having read up on various conditions and diseases, I've found ophthalmology to be the field, that I would like to pursue, so that I can give other individuals a shot at living an uninhibited life. I know that ophthalmology is a difficult residency to place into, often granted to the top 10% of medical school classes. I was hoping to know what would happen during the merger, so that I could be better informed as to how attending either an MD or DO school would affect my chances of getting the residency that I'd like. #medicine -school -education #residency #ophthalmology
