recommended premed major ADVICE WANTED

[rebel100]

And once you get accepted, just finishing any U.S. medical school is a good thing. Two things:

What do you call the person who graduates in last place? Doctor.

What if you make a C in medical school? C for continue.

I know a woman who wanted to be a surgeon. She had some C for continue grades. She didn't match. She ended up scrambling for any residency anywhere at all. She got a pathology residency and discovered that she liked it. Even better, she discovered that she was good at it and became the president of some pathology professional association.

That's one of the things they don't tell you when you get in...you have to get matched or you get to practice in Europe or Latin America. Not really an issue in US schools, they have the matches preplanned and even the "c" students get a spot somewhere (though it could be across the country). The foreign Med schools are different, my pal from the Caribbean school spent every waking moment worried about this and working angles to get any stateside spot...part of the cost of alternative medical education I suppose.

What's the difference between God and a Doctor? .....God knows he's not a Doctor.
