How does medical school work in the united states?
If you graduate high school at 18 and go straight to college how old will you be when you become a first year intern? Do you go straight to medical school after high school? or do you have to do another course / major and then medical school? thanks so much!- In the United States, Medical School is a professional degree, obtained after your undergraduate degree. At age 18, you go to college, obtaining a bachelors degree in any subject you want. To be accepted to a medical school, you need to take certain courses during your undergraduate years: Biology I and II, Chemistry I and II, Organic Chemistry I and II, Physics I and II, Calculus I, and Calculus II or Statistics I. Additionally you need to take two English courses. Certain Medical Schools may impose stricter requirements, but generally, the above courses are all that you need. You can complete any degree program you wish, as long as those above courses are done. The most typical major is Biology, but you could major in English, Economics, Political Science, Finance, or anything else you want, as long as the minimum coursework described above is done. Many students refer to the above listing of courses as Pre - Med requirements, but that is not a major, merely the list of specific courses that are the minimum to be accepted to a US Medical School. Bachelors degrees in the United States typically take four years to complete, but that can be shorter or longer depending on your particular program. Medical School is an additional four years, with the first two years spent completing coursework, and the later two years spent doing clinical rotations and obtaining hands on experience. The first year after graduation, is the beginning of your residency, which can take anywhere between two and 11 years, depending on what specialty you have chosen. To summarize, it is typically around eight years, in the United States, from high school graduation to first year intern
- You first go to college for an undergraduate bachelors degree. If I am not mistaken your major is premed. Either that or you pick a major that is medically related and you're just considered "premed". After you graduate with your bachelors degree, you go onto med school and graduate with your doctorate. It's after med school that you begin your internship and get your license and all of the fun stuff that allows you to legally practice medicine
- In Europe you go to Medical School right off high school if you get admitted through entrance exams. In the U. S. first you get a Bachelor's Degree, preferrably in Biology. Then you take an exam to get admitted to Medical School. It's very compe ive because doctors make a lot of money in the U. S
