Do you find yourself drawn to medical dramas such as “Greys Anatomy” or “Scrubs”? Do you genuinely care about others and try to ease their pain or suffering? Do you enjoy chemistry and biology classes? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be interested in the medical field. This professional area is growing quickly. It is rewarding and challenging and offers job security.
Before heading down this long and difficult career path, make sure you consider your motivations for going into medicine. What do you want to accomplish? Are you really in it to help others? Maybe you are only interested in making lots of money. These are all legitimate reasons to go into medicine. But make sure that you are willing to commit to a long road of education and training.
Even though a medical career can be lucrative and rewarding, are you sure you have the perseverance it takes to accomplish your goals? This professional choice demands hard work and often includes a great deal of stress. Going to medical school can be quite the challenge so if you’re serious about helping others and improving their well-being; you should be equipped to deal with stress and lots of learning. This is the only way you will succeed in medicine.
What happens in medical school? During your first two years, you will study anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, pharmacology and pathology. You will learn how to look at patients and take medical histories. As you move forward, you will visit hospitals where you will observe and work closely with other doctors. You will likely be introduced to many fields of medicine such as internal medicine, family practice, obstetrics, gynecology, surgery and pediatrics.
Lastly, you will become a resident doctor for three to seven years in order to obtain more experience in your specialty. You will eventually become a health professional and will need to dress appropriately.
