For those in college that are majoring in medicine can you please give me and idea of how it is?

Answer:
well it is exciting at a point and way stressing at other and yet we do strike an equillibrium where not even your career matters any more, you become more worried about your next coming presentation and examination than you have time to register what has been happening in the past weeks.

How it is? It is fine, his prognosis is good.

studying medicine at undergraduate level is very overwhelming. When i was in undergrad i majored in pre-veterinary medicine/biology, and learning science is not very easy when you do not have the basics. You will be introduced to biology, chemistry, physics, biochemistry, as well as many other subjects that you may explore (and i highly advise you do this), such as arts and humanities classes. everything you think you know about these subjects from high school education will be magnified by 100,000x. If you plan on going to medical school you may want to consider majoring in something like buisness or english, engineering, music, or whatever, because these are the students who are considered ""well-rounded" 盲nd seperate themselves from the bio, biochem, pre-med majors. You have to take the pre-requisites, but other than that you can have a different major besides science to get into med school (and i bet it would be more advised).

How It is? Imagine your hardest semester in under graduate times two (2) . That is what is like. Like 24 hours of 400 level courses each semester. TIMES 4 years. !! Not what most smart people can handle- but, what you can take. Get USED to it - I deal with high drama every day!
You must handle someone dying while! someone else is having their hernia fixed without problem.

So you don't major in "medicine" in college you are pre-med (meaning you have to take prerequisite classes bio, chem etc) but you can major in whatever you want. If you are a good student and good in sciences then its fine. The biggest obstacle is getting into Med school which requires that you do other extra curricular things (volunteering, research etc) as a way to show that you are actually interested and have gone beyond just what is required

like the above person said, you don't major in "medicine" but rather take some required science classes (chem, bio, organic chem, and physics). these classes give you a foundation to build on once you get to med school. they also prepare you for the MCAT. regardless if your major, you have to be dedicated to making good grades every semester, esp in those science classes. on top of that, you have to get some shadowing experience, do volunteer work, and even research to make yourself a good candidate.
