What different pathways did you take to end up in the career that you are in now? How did this path change from the initial path that you wanted for yourself?

My major is going to be biological science. I am in my last semester of getting my associates degree so I am excited for the change coming my way.

I'm a domestic applicant (with U.S. citizenship), but my family will stay in a different country while I'm in college, so I would prefer a safe environment with a location in which I can get the minimum supplies I need by myself, and it would be the best if there is a solid campus-town. I'm currently considering BS/MD or pre-med paths. Are there any universities/colleges that would suit me with these conditions?

College/university in safe environment with a solid pre-med path or BS/MD program.

What are the major highschool subjects that contribute to medical school admission and possibly syllabus?

I'm and have always been passionate about biology but in Norway, they require physics which was rather weird at first. I've researched on many different university requirements and some need biology and not physics. I may not continue med school in Norway since they study in Norwegian and...

With the fast-growing usage of AI in medicine, how will pediatrician and other medical doctors be affected? Will doctors even be needed in the future?

I am a high school senior getting ready to go to college. I want to study biology and later do medical school to become a pediatrician. However, I have a fear that with the advancing usage of AI, a job like mine won't be needed.
