3 things to consider if you wanna go to medschool

1. Passion

Do you really like to become a doctor? If it is your dream, sure then, no one can hinder you in pursuing your dreams. This is the most important question you have to answer. No one can snatch that away from you. To become a doctor, be sure to have the passion because passion comes first before anything else.

2. Finances

The tuition fee is pricey, but there are many schools who offer scholarship and part-time work for underpriviledge students. You can also can apply for the government schools or the state universities- they offer a cheaper tuition fee.

Books, laboratory and lecture manuals are necessary. Most of the medical schools these days requires you to buy the manual which is 300% more expensive than if you made it photocopied and binded. The good news about the books is that we have ebooks in pdf and chm format, it's a way cheap than buying the real ones.

Medicine is expensive,but surely, if you answer number 1 correctly, you'll have what it takes to become a doctor.

3. Time

There is a lot to consider about time. Pursuing your dream as a doctor will take you atleast 9-15 years. Basically, to become a general practitioner, you need to have to study a 4year premed course, take another 3 years to study medicine proper, plus a year to rotate as a clerk or a junior intern, then graduate, and take another year as a post-graduate intern, after that, you can take your board examination. If you pass the exam, then that's the time that you will become a doctor.  You can still become a specialist by undergoing 3-4 year residency programs and you can be a subspecialist by undergoing further 2-year training as a fellow.

We only have 24 hours in a day, so you have to manage it very efficiently. As a medical student, you have to cross-out the things that eats your time. I'm sorry to say that you have to cut off your TV-time (if your fond of watching teledrama)-well, for me, since i entered Medicine, i only got to watch news during saturday nights, even to cut off or trim a little bit of your hang-outs with friends (you have to hang-out with your books), plus having a relationship while studying medicine takes a really good time mangement skills plus you have to have a very understanding, supportive and caring partner. :)

So if you think you are ready to pursue your dreams,
Hands up ^^ and let's heal the world!
