High school subjects

Hi Lucky
The answer to your question depends to some extent on the country that you live in etc. If you are referring to high school subjects - it is highly recommended that you take mathematics, science (physics and chemistry), and biology or life sciences. Keep in mind that you can do a structured pre-med course as part of your high school science credits - follow this link http://www.solidrockvirtualschool.com/ShowDetailofCourse.aspx?cid=130 for more information. And you can study online at this virtual school!

"Surgery" literally means to work with one's hands; thus in the medical sense it implies the treatment of disease using the hands.

"So You Want to Become a Nurse..."

Nursing can be defined as the general care of sick people, as opposed to the medical treatment of their diseases. A professional nurse is able to skillfully combine the art of caring with the science of healthcare. Nursing places its focus on the patient as a whole, rather than on a particular disease or health issue.

"So You Want to Become a Dentist..."

"Dentistry" literally means "the study field concerned with teeth". This is a somewhat deficient definition, as dentistry is both the science and art dealing with the teeth, the jaw bones and all the soft tissues associated with these structures - including the gums, the lining of the mouth, the tongue, the jaw muscles and joints, the nerves in the head and neck region, and other related structures such as the salivary glands.
