I am applying for Summer research opportunities to prepare for graduate school. I was wondering if there were any other programs or opportunities that would help me prepare?

I am a rising college sophomore looking to attend medical school post-graduation. I have read that medical schools are interested in many things including MCAT scores, GPA, extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation, ability to answer interview questions, etc. I am, therefore,...

What can I use to help me succeed when taking the MCATS? How should I study for the MCATS? When is the best time to start preparing for the MCATS?

I want to work in the medical field and I want to become a surgeon but I was told that women can't be surgeons but I'm not sure if that's true. I'm in 8th grade and I'm 14 years old !

I am interested in the field of Obstetrician/Gynecologist and I would like to know why these two professions aren't two separate careers. As an Obstetrician you usually work in a hospital to deliver babies and as a Gynecologist you usually work in a clinic, why are the two professions combined?...

I previously asked a question regarding going into the medical field as a career. If I were to go into the medical field how would I handle a situation where a patient wants to have an abortion? I go to a Catholic high school and it is against my religious beliefs. Within my own understanding...

I do not really have any experience with the medical field, and I really want more exposure because I think that I am interested in becoming a doctor. What way would you suggest to be the best way to introduce myself to and get more involved with this field? Is it difficult to be a scribe if...

I'm starting college this fall, so I wanted to know a timeline on when/how I should study. #college #college-bound #mcat

I know becoming a doctor requires several years of schooling, but I am unsure of the process after Pre-Med and Medical School. How do Doctors decide where to do their residency? #doctor #medicine #surgeon #hospital #medical-field #residency

When I was growing up I’ve always wanted to be a cardiologist. However, recently I’ve started doing a lot of research and thought that I might want to go to dental school instead. How do I decide? I don’t want to make the wrong decision and end up having regrets in the future....

I am not enrolled for pre-medicine at my university, so I wanted to know if this would hurt my chances of getting admitted into medical school. #doctor #medicine #healthcare #pre-med

Also, did you get the job?

Spending so long in college is the one thing that makes me question if I want to be a doctor, more specifically a dermalogist because what would I be learning that would take 12 years to master? Also, others the same age with me would already have jobs.

I feel like medical school is very expensive so how would a doctor be able to cover the costs without going into massive debt. How hard do you have to work to get into medical school?

Hi! I am a rising sophomore and I am looking for advice on applying to med school.

I just finished my first year as an undergraduate student. I'm majoring in biochemistry and minoring in psychology. I know these two fields are very helpful for the MCAT. (I am very interested in those fields as well, so it was not the only reason I chose them.) When did you begin studying for...

I know that the general advice for premed students is to keep undergraduate debt low, since the cost of applying can be thousands to begin with. I don't have concerns about having undergrad debt because of my school's generous financial aid (I get school grants, Pell Grants, work study, etc.)....

I'm currently 3rd-year human biology and minor in psychology My goal is to go to medical school but my GPA isn't the best. I'm planning to take the MCAT next summer however, I'm told by my school advisor that I got no choice but to change my career plan because medicine isn't for me. I was...

Any tips, advice, or guidance would be extremely helpful. It would also be nice to hear anyone's own experience on why they made their decision.

For reference, I am a rising junior in high school.

I was interested in going into the medical field, and people often refer to getting something called "your residency". #doctor #residency

I am mainly asking this question because I am very much interested in the holistic side of medicine and I want to work closely with my patients. #doctor #family-medicine #holistic #natural-medicine #osteopathic

I went into college thinking I was going to become an MD but I have recently been looking into becoming a DO (Doctor of Osteopathy). I know that the schooling is relatively the same but I am curious to know the distinctions between them other then the teachings of osteopathic medicine being...

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,...

I am considering becoming a D.O., and I would like to know if I am a good fit for the career. I am well-suited academically, but I would like to make sure I am suited personality-wise. #DO #careers #medicine #osteopathic

I am very seriously considering going into this profession and would love to know More! #medicine #DO #osteopathic manipulation

I am interested in applying to the University of Dublin through the Atlantic Bridge Program, but I want to be able to match into a neurosurgery residency. I would be considered an IMG when I come back to the U.S. so I was wondering if it would be better to just take a traditional medicine route...

Given the fact that after earning an M.D. in order to specialize in a specific doctor's field you have to go through a program to gain certification, the terms residency and fellowship have both been mentioned and I, as a result, don't know the difference between the two. #doctor #residency...

I want to go to medical school, and I know this is followed by a residency, but I don’t know a lot about that process. How does the application process for residency work? Do residencies focus on specialties? #medicine #residency #medical-school #healthcare #hospital-and-health-care

I plan on going into neurosurgery, which is an extensive residency. How difficult is it to have a family while in residency?

More specifically, I want to know how big classes are in general, and what other people pursuing the same career path are like. Is there tension? Competition? What are the professors like? What happens after you get your bachelor degree and get accepted into med school? Is it like regular...

Both are rigorous tests and I was wondering if people have done this before. #law #pre-med #medical-school #law-school

If you need a high GPA to get into medical school, would it be better to choose a state school with the potential to get a higher GPA? #medicine #pediatrics #medical-school #undergraduate #gpa

I know I want to be a surgeon, but i'm not sure how to later decide what type I wanna be.

I am asking because the odds of adding medical school is a small ratio to students that actually take the pre-med prerequisites. With odds like this, many people refuse to take pre-med if they will not have a shot. I am curious to see what professionals think. #college #medicine #medical-school...

I’m a 12th grade student who maintains a high GPA and works at a local hospital wanting to becoming a medical doctor.

I am a sophmore in high school and I'm planning on pursing a career in the medical field. I was wondering if the undergrad school I go to is important to get into medical school? Meaning, when applying to medical school, does admissions look at if I went to a UC school or a State school and...

Hi! My name is Anina and I'm a high school senior interning at Career Village. I have a few friends who are starting to finish college, and the pre-meds seem to be evenly split between those who are applying to medical school, and those who are taking a gap year before applications. What are...

I am a pre-med biomedical science major and I know that I want to pursue surgery, I also know that as a surgeon there will come a time that I am not able to save a patients life and I would like some advice on how to prepare for the moment I love my first patient. #doctor #medicine #healthcare...

I am currently a senior in high school and I am interested in studying STEM in college. I realize that women in the STEM field are far and few between, so what can I do as an individual to help more girls explore STEM fields in school?

I'm really into oncology and research but love working in clinical atmospheres.

I would like to take the test required for entering medical school, therefore I would like some suggestions on sources for studying for it. #doctor #graduate-school #medical-school #test

I want to make sure that I am prepared for the financial load I'm taking on. #medical-school

I am considering going to medical school in the future, and I want to know if I have the necessary skills/traits to be successful on the job as well as enjoy working in this profession. #doctor #medicine #medical-school

What are some difficult tasks that come with being a doctor?
