Medical Schools

There really isn't any specific high school; however, one that offers AP courses in areas of anatomy and psychology would be your best bet. I say that because typically AP courses can give you hand on experience and also... No doubt is medical school expensive, so after you complete the course you can take the AP exams and pay $87, which sure is a little pricey for a test but you would save a ton of money and time if you do well on these tests. That is because you earn college credits for high enough scores... Usually 3,4 and 5's...and thus do not need to take that course in a university. So for a future doctor if you have a choice if high schools, i would pick one with AP classes available. Also my school has a health occupations class which if you can find a high school offering that, you would get to intern at various medical settings and experience it for yourself! And if there are any clubs like Health occupation students of America, that's a plus too! Good Luck!

No. In fact, you -pay- to go to medical school. Like an undergraduate, post-graduate, or any degree, it will cost you money, and a lot of it. However, when you finish medical school and select a specialty, you'll apply for a residency, which is 3-7 years in a clinical environment under supervision. You do get paid at this point, but it's nothing to go to the bank about. Think 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of med school, 3-7 years in a residency, and then the money.

Certainly does. In fact its ranked #11 in the US among research medical schools, and #10 in patient care. One of the highest scores for combined classifications in the nation.

Depends on what school you want to go to.

Not specifically. Most PA programs require healthcare (direct patient contact) experience. Healthcare experience may be acquired in many ways from volunteering, cna experience, medical assistant, physical therapy asst, emt etc. Each PA program has different requirements. Contact the various programs to learn more about their specific requirements.

I don't think so, that's what it is in my state. Add on. Didn't realize our youth is givin a criminal history with a backround check. Why not Just private school our children. As far as I understand it is illegal to prevent a child from learning life school knowledge.

yes, you need to go to medical school before you can commence your residency.

Harvard university

No- in fact, they don't typically accept UVa undergrads into their med-school other than the top, top, top students. They want more variety. If you want to go to UVa for med school, go somewhere else with a good premed program.

Those pursuing a career as a medical doctor come from a variety of disciplines. While many prefer to take their undergraduate degree in biology with a pre-med option, many have their undergraduate course work in other areas to include English, history, nursing, fine arts, social sciences etc. The important issue is completion of the appropriate prerequisite course work especially in the sciences and math.

Once the candidate is successfully through his Certified Nursing Assistant training, the States appoint an authority whose responsibility involves conducting exams based on the subject matter of the training. The exam consists of written and practical tests offering the candidate to perform in real life situations which evaluate his expertise in living up to the expectations of the profession.

No, medical school is the graduate school for medicine.

You need to check with your academic adviser, and transfer counselor at the college you are enrolled at.

The common path to practicing as a physician requires 8 years of education beyond high school and 3 to 8 additional years of internship and residency. All States, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories license physicians. Education and training. Formal education and training requirements for physicians are among the most demanding of any occupation-4 years of undergraduate school, 4 years of medical school, and 3 to 8 years of internship and residency, depending on the specialty selected. A few medical schools offer combined undergraduate and medical school programs that last 6 years rather than the customary 8 years. Premedical students must complete undergraduate work in physics, biology, mathematics, English, and inorganic and organic chemistry. Students also take courses in the humanities and the social sciences. Some students volunteer at local hospitals or clinics to gain practical experience in the health professions. The minimum educational requirement for entry into medical school is 3 years of college; most applicants, however, have at least a bachelor's degree, and many have advanced degrees. There are 146 medical schools in the United States-126 teach allopathic medicine and award a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree; 20 teach osteopathic medicine and award the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree. Acceptance to medical school is highly competitive. Applicants must submit transcripts, scores from the Medical College Admission Test, and letters of recommendation. Schools also consider an applicant's character, personality, leadership qualities, and participation in extracurricular activities. Most schools require an interview with members of the admissions committee. Students spend most of the first 2 years of medical school in laboratories and classrooms, taking courses such as anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, psychology, microbiology, pathology, medical ethics, and laws governing medicine. They also learn to take medical histories, examine patients, and diagnose illnesses. During their last 2 years, students work with patients under the supervision of experienced physicians in hospitals and clinics, learning acute, chronic, preventive, and rehabilitative care. Through rotations in internal medicine, family practice, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, psychiatry, and surgery, they gain experience in the diagnosis and treatment of illness. Following medical school, almost all M.D.s enter a residency-graduate medical education in a specialty that takes the form of paid on-the-job training, usually in a hospital. Most D.O.s serve a 12-month rotating internship after graduation and before entering a residency, which may last 2 to 6 years. A physician's training is costly. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, in 2004 more than 80 percent of medical school graduates were in debt for educational expenses. Licensure and certification. All States, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories license physicians. To be licensed, physicians must graduate from an accredited medical school, pass a licensing examination, and complete 1 to 7 years of graduate medical education. Although physicians licensed in one State usually can get a license to practice in another without further examination, some States limit reciprocity. Graduates of foreign medical schools generally can qualify for licensure after passing an examination and completing a U.S. residency. M.D.s and D.O.s seeking board certification in a specialty may spend up to 7 years in residency training, depending on the specialty. A final examination immediately after residency or after 1 or 2 years of practice also is necessary for certification by a member board of the American Board of Medical Specialists (ABMS) or the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). The ABMS represents 24 boards related to medical specialties ranging from allergy and immunology to urology. The AOA has approved 18 specialty boards, ranging from anesthesiology to surgery. For certification in a subspecialty, physicians usually need another 1 to 2 years of residency. Other qualifications. People who wish to become physicians must have a desire to serve patients, be self-motivated, and be able to survive the pressures and long hours of medical education and practice. Physicians also must have a good bedside manner, emotional stability, and the ability to make decisions in emergencies. Prospective physicians must be willing to study throughout their career to keep up with medical advances. Advancement. Some physicians and surgeons advance by gaining expertise in specialties and subspecialties and by developing a reputation for excellence among their peers and patients. Many physicians and surgeons start their own practice or join a group practice. Others teach residents and other new doctors, and some advance to supervisory and managerial roles in hospitals, clinics, and other settings.
