I am about to become a freshmen in college and would like to become a General Practitioner. I would like to know do these types of doctors get paid well and what types of facilities do they work in? I would also like to know is it a lot of hard work and if their is any other information that anyone wants to add that is helpful I would be glad.
Thank You

ANY medical school is hard, first of all. If you don’t want to work hard, you should definitely reconsider wanting to become a doctor.

General practitioners can work in hospitals, in private practices, or in clinics. Most doctors get paid pretty well, GPs don’t get paid as much as surgeons (but they’re insurance isn’t as high, either).

To be a GP you’ll have 4 years of undergrad (graduating with your Bachelor’s in whatever area you’d like), 4 years of medical school, and then 3 years of residency.

It could be your score, or a friends, or anything you heard. The brochures all say that SABA is very competitive.
Do you think that a MCAT score of 20 is good enough

Saba is one of the better schools in the Caribbean, but its admission standards are much lower than a US school. The MCAT is not required for admission unless your science GPA is low. By low, they mean in the C range.

My best recommendation is to visit the campus. They will grant you an interview and that will carry a lot of weight in their admission decision. I would shoot for either the September of May admission cycle, as the January cycle is usually filled with applicants who tried for and weren’t accepted by US schools and their stats are usually a bit better.

In August 2009 over three weeks students from the University of Leicester Medical School participated in a CALF project training on how to collaborate to prepare future scenarios, assess their plausibility, construct arguments about the future and present their ideas creatively. This is the final project of one of the students, in which she presents a possible future for the University of Leicester Medical School

i want to go to Duke University to be a neonatal nurse.

i have 6 questions!
1.how can a 12 yr old plan herself to go to this school?
2.how much will it cost?
3. what kind of grades do i need to make?
4.can i start earlier?
5. i need some ideas on how to make this work well?
6. can you tell me the top 10 medical colleges to become a neonatal nurse?

Nurses do not attend Colleges of Medicine. They attend programs in nursing. There are lots of nursing programs at state universities all around the country.

You do not have to be worrying about this at 12 years of age!!! What you have to do right now, is take care of yourself, do a good job in school and follwo some hobbies and activities that will help you to practice working with all kinds of people – that will be important when you become a nurse. You can do girl scouts, or church activities, or activities at school. Things that help other people and help you learn.

When you get to high school, take science and math courses and try hard to get good marks. But try to do a good job in all your classes. You will be able to find a job helping out at a hospital or nursing home, and that will give you some more understanding of what nurses do on the job.

By the time you are 17 or 18 and you are applying for nursing school, there will be lots and lots of information about it on the internet and you will have no trouble finding out every detail about what you want to know.

Duke is a wonderful school, but it might not be the right school for you. Give yourself time to decide!

I know you will make it and be a great nurse!

I’m a junior in High School. I plan on going to either UCLA or UC Davis to get a degree in biology for premed. Most likely UCLA.

I either want to go to UC Irvine, UCLA or Drexel University School of Medicine. I have family up in Pennsylvania where Drexel is and say that if I get into Drexel I can live with them.

Which of them would be the hardest to get into?

UCLA is the best and therefore hardest to get into, then UCI, and then Drexel. However, you have a long time to go until med school. Med school in general is very hard to get into, and if you can get into one, you may not have very much choice about where it would be located, I’m afraid.

Even in a Pass/Fail curriculum, med students still find a way to compete.

I am planning on doing premedicine at u of m Dearborn, and if I average a 3.2 in my premed courses, will I have a good chance of getting in? Do you think it would be better if I do premed at Wayne state?

Most medical schools in overall have the same prerequisites (requirements) as to of marks, volunteering, attitude and etc. Specific requirements should be checked with the university of choice.

And yes if you can doing your premed in your choice of medical school would be best. Note that premed is not a major, and you will have to focus on major in the end.

Ross University is a foreign medical school located in the Caribbean islands, but its intense curriculum is designed to make sure its students are on the same playing field when they make their clinical rotations in the U.S.. I hope you guys visit my journal to catch up on my antics!

Have heard the good and bad to going to this school because students have a rough time finding good Internships in the US. Yes this school is cheaper than med school in the US but is it really worth it? What other experiences or pointers would you have for me?

Actually, Ross is considered one of the better Caribbean medical schools and graduates have obtained residencies in every specialty in every residency program in the US.
