Answer 2

Degrees for surgeons are as varied as the types of surgeons and the fields they practice in. Basically speaking, upon graduating from medical school the first degree you could receive would be "Bachelor of Medicine" and/or "Bachelor of Surgery", these appear to be different but are in practice generally considered one.

Answer 3

First, there is no such thing as a degree in pre-med. It is a curriculum layout or sometimes referred to as a tract, which prepares students who intend to seek admission to medical schools. It includes activities such as prerequisite coursework, clinical experience, volunteer activities, and research.

While many individuals who pursue a career as a physician major in Biology at the undergraduate level, many others come from a variety of other educational backgrounds. The best major should be based on a contingency plan. In other words, what happens if you do not go to medical school? What will you be able to do with the degree that you have, and will it provide you with a satisfying career or career path? You should meet with a career counselor at the college or university you attend for what options exist for you. Whichever major you choose, the critical issue is acquiring the appropriate prerequisite coursework required by medical schools. The student should have a strong background in the following areas.

• Biology (cell biology, biology of the organism)
• Chemistry (inorganic, organic)
• Physics
• Communication (written and oral)
• Higher level math's (algebra, trigonometry, calculus)
• Computer literacy
• Development of good critical thinking skills.
