A career in medicine offers doctors an opportunity to provide a service to the public through the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses, diseases and infections ~ 13 (or more, depending on any specialities) completes surgery, to patients that actually need it! The first step is gaining acceptance to medical school. Here are key attritibutes that greatly improve the success of a candidate: 3.6+ college gpa, 30+ MCAT score, volunteer/research experience, physician shadowing, individuality/well-roundness, good interviewing skills Each medical school will be looking for slightly different characteristics to fill their class. However, the process is more random than expected. Good grades and test scores are simply not enough. Grades are likely the deciding factor of whether a school will offer a candidate an interview but an interview is far from acceptance. The candidate must present him/herself as unique in order to stand out among the sea of highly qualified applicants. Following acceptance, a future doctor must complete 4 years of immense course work which will include patient interaction. The cost of a medical education ranges from $120-300K. After 4 years, the title 'doctor' is granted. However, before a doctor can actually specialize in a field of medicine, 3-10 years of residency training are required (which pays about $40K/year). I think it goes something like this: 4 years of college, 4 years of med school, and a 3-10 year internship called residency. A 1-2 year fellowship may also be required in order to specialize in a particular area of medicine (such as gastroenterology). college and medical school qualifications - MBBS; MBBS/BSc; MBChB; MBBCh; BMBS - all of which are normally referred to as a "first MB".and spaks
