Many students today do not appreciate the fact that they can receive any education they choose. In America, we are free to select whatever career path we want. All we need to do is work hard and have the right mindset to get into the college of our choice. This was not always the case. Elizabeth Blackwell had to fight and continue to persevere to get into medical school.…

It will also enable me to achieve my ultimate dream of becoming an exceptional medical…
Doctor Academy and their Summer Internship are some of the things that I took advantage of. Doctor Academy has many opportunities that is helping me to figure out what career choices I want to explore and what college I wanted to attend. One way that Doctor Academy help me is when they get me involved in things that I am not used to doing, like having myself do a 13 page research, and shadowing a doctor. They will take us to different college, so we can see if that were we want to attend, and to see the kind of majors and help they have there. And help us to get in place that others student can’t. Which are very helpful for people that don’t know or didn’t know what to do with their future. Doctor Academy also help us with our resume, applying…
“Hey, how did you get here?” that was a confusing question posed by a nineteen-year-old Hispanic patient with abdominal pain. This interaction occurred during the first week of my third-year internal medicine clerkship. Since he was starting a community college, he was unaware of the process of becoming a doctor. The patient wanted to understand how I became a medical student. I responded by stressing the importance of volunteering, attending a competitive school, and taking the MCAT.…
In order to attend a medical school, the student must complete a four year bachelor’s degree prior to submitting an application. Most pre med students tend to major in a science since medical school is focused on science. ”Majoring in the biological sciences is desirable because not only is it interesting, it is also very convenient since most biological science majors have already incorporated all the medical school prerequisites”(Edward Chang). But student can also major in english, political science or business but it won’t help…
Medical school application committees tend to focus on the big picture. Hence, if a person takes a qualifying exam, gets an average score, retakes the exam, and does significantly better, normal people would interpret this to mean that the applicant is striving to improve his/her chances of being accepted. From my experience, the vast majority of the faculty at the Penn State College of Medicine consisted of normal people. Except for this one guy in the Radiology department who looked like a beluga whale, but nobody’s…
In order to practice, one must have obtained both an undergraduate four-year degree often in a type of science, and a doctoral degree from a certified medical school. In addition to this extensive education, a profession in the medical field requires a certification from either the state or a National organization that grants the ability to practice medicine. Of the many colleges that offer a major in medical sciences, I would select John Hopkins University in Baltimore Maryland. I would select John Hopkins because of its reputation and history of constantly remaining at the top of the line for medical schools. John Hopkins University’s reputation is likely connected to the fact that they require a substantial amount of achievement and academic merit in high school. According to statistics in compliance with John Hopkins University’s’ acceptance rate, an average GPA of 3.8 along with an average SAT score of 2090 and 4 years of a Foreign language, a Science, an English, a History, and a Math satisfied the requirements for the 18.13% of students admitted out of 21,336 total freshman applicants. According to my Roadtrip Nation Leader, Jim Yong Kim, studying the field of medicine was the best thing he could have done with his life as it gave him a…
To embark in any medical career, high school students must heavily focus on science and math classes to prepare for college.

Some colleges have a premed course available for undergrad students to practice for Medical school. During this period students must study for the upcoming MCAT to enroll in medical school. After attaining a Bachelors degree another four years of extensive studying in Medical School is required. For the first two years in Medical School students will learn the foundation of science such as biochemistry, microbiology, and neuroscience.…
The American Honors Program can help me achieve my goal of becoming a physician by giving me the tools and resources necessary to have a challenging and fulfilling community college experience and assisting me with transferring to a four-year college or university that has a respected pre-med program. Attending Ivy Tech as an American Honors student will also provide me with the critical thinking skills necessary to do well after I transfer as well as farther down the road as I continue my studies. This program has provided me with an adviser that assists me with choosing classes that will not only transfer, but will also be applicable to my future career and educational goals. In addition to this, the flexibility that both the American Honors…

However, I am not going to let this discourage me because I believe that I was born to be a pediatrician. I tried to look through a list of jobs, but I couldn’t find one that suits me better than medicine. With all the information I gathered from my research, I will try to find ways to make being a medical student an enjoyable trip despite the years that it will take me. “Success is not a destination, but the road that you’re on. Being successful means that you’re working hard and walking your walk every day. You can only live your dream by working hard towards it. That’s living your dream”-Marlon…
I had worked hard in school because of this desire to become a physician. But at a time I also became discouraged and worried about my future outlook. During my second semester of freshman year and going into sophomore year in college, I was still trying to figure out how to study properly and the troubles in physics and organic chemistry became a nightmare. On top of courses being difficult, I was also involved in a dance team, an active runner, and employed as an undergraduate peer advisor and TA, which became hard to balance. Sacrifices were made, which I came to realize is what a physician's job entails. I had never faced more of a…
Doctors are always narrowed down to one specific field. This is determined during their schooling. To become a doctor you need to attend at least eight years of college. Four of those years are to receive your Bachelor’s degree. During those four years you take all of your core classes, which include a lot of psychology and philosophy and about three levels of many different sciences. After you graduate you then have to apply to medical school. This is often an entirely different college. You take in depth courses on each branch of medicine, which normally takes about four more years. These courses involve a lot of memorization of every common and uncommon illness and their symptoms. After their final four years, they get their experience in a…
