Doctor Fahd
This site is primarily intended to encourage high school students interested in becoming doctors. It is not a general medical questions site.
I would love to encourage your nephew who may be interested in becoming a doctor but as far as your question and (future questions) is concerned try this site:

Dr Anton

Doctor,
I emailed the addresses you gave to me for medical camps, but no one has responded. It has been about four days. Also, how important is the undergraduate school that one attends in regards of getting accepted into medical school? I have been visiting schools such as Marist College, Mount Saint Mary, Mount Saint Vincent, Cornell University, Ithaca College, Brown University. Does Ivy-League matter? Sorry if this may be a little off topic Doctor.

Thanks

Well not a great testimony to the AHECs of NY!
Have you considered volunteering to one of the hospitals close to you?
I will be giving a 3 hour hands-on lecture on suturing in Tampa FL on Aug 21 2009 - if you can get there you are welcome to attend!
I do envisage having an Apprentice Doctor Medical camp for a week in 2010 - somewhere in the USA.
When a member of the public goes to a doctor they rarely if ever would enquire where you have studied - as long as you are qualified and board certified. Of course qualifying at a one of the top 20 medical schools would be a great bonus!

Dr Anton

Hi Doc,

Im a 17 year old girl from Montreal, Canada starting college in fall. What steps would I have to take in order to study medicine in USA?

Thanks !!

If you envisage becoming a doctor in the USA - as well as living and practicing there, I would suggest that you do you B degree (including the premed requirements) at a USA university.

Dear doctor:
thank you for replying and from tomorrow I will select Mechanics.And doctor is Russian MBBS is recognized by other countries?? And what do u think of going to Russia for medicine?? and are there any difficulties when Russian doctors find a job????thank you.

supun

Supun
Recognition may vary from country to country, and from medical school to medical school. There are quite a number of reputable Russian medical schools - I personally worked with a number of Russian doctors - and have a lot of respect for these Russian qualified doctors.
As a general statement it is always easier and better to study in the country where you would like to practice one day.

Dr Anton

Bean

Bean

Hi Bean
If you take this seriously your life will change dramatically. If you don't you will be 80 and still blaming the government or somebody else.
Stop blaming others and take personal responsibility for your life.
Changing schools won't make a difference - different teachers and different students - but the same problem will repeat itself.
Trust you have the stomach to digest this one!

Dr Anton

Dear doctor:
Doctor i am doing my London A/Ls ( chemistry ,biology ,maths and physics ).My question is , I am doing pure maths and as a applied subject i have to select Statistics or mechanics.Doctor which subject will be more useful if I have idea to move to medicine stream after my A/Ls..????thank you.

supun

Hi Supun
If you want to become a surgeon or orthopod - do mechanics. If you want to go into medical research or academics - go for statistics. If you are unsure have a look at my e-book "Which branch of Medicine is for me"

Dr Anton

im from england get b's ad c grades i want to become a doctor do you think i can be if i do a pre med year and get good grades help me and is there any other roots to becoming a doctor please help meee!!!

help!!!

No short-cuts to avoid academic excellence.
Some universities do offer a bridging course for students who didn't have the correct subject choices - and of course if you excel during this year your chances would be good to get accepted.

Dr Anton

What is the difference between a medical degree for an undergraduate and medical school

Alex

To become a doctor in the USA, you need a B degree (certain prerequisites, but you may major in a wide variety of non -medical subjects). Then you can apply to attend a medical school - another 4 years of mainly medical studies and practical/clinical training.
Does it make sense?

Dr Anton

Doctor,
Thank you that would be great! I live in Patterson, NY (Putnam County). I really appreciate this, I would LOVE to attend a medical camp. :)

Dear Doctor:
doctor one of my firend need to become a doctor, but he dont have enough money to apply for pre-medical course and he has no idea to do A/Ls because he is 18 years old.But he has done GCE London O/Ls..what can he do???and can he join to any other course (lessly cost) which help him to do medicine (MBBS) later???thank you doctor.

supun

Hi
In applying to medical school, the competitors for the available post dictate the level of excellence, and I don't see your friend being successful without excellent A-levels results. Alternatively go for a science honours degree and apply at that stage. Some medical schools offer bridging courses - you will have to contact a number of medical schools to get more info.

Dr Anton

Dear Doc
I want to study medicine in the Uk, I currently live in the US. I was just wondering if the procedure to becoming a pediatrician is the same in the UK as it is in the US?

Josy

Joey
It does differ somewhat from the USA.
One can apply to medical school in the UK directly after your so called A-levels, but some Med schools prefer a honors science degree.
The training changed in 2005, and it looks like the following to me (write under correction):
Medical school - 5 years plus two Foundation years, basic specialist training as a SHO (senior house officer) 2-3 years and formal specialist registrarship I believe is another 4 years.

Dr Anton

hi dr.anton i have two questions no.1 when u have high fevrf and cough and throat pain so what u should u no.2 when your age is 14 so what your height and weight need to be

sobia

Sobia
The Apprentice Doctor Course material does have sections on the above questions.
With your symptoms you need to see a doctor for a full clinical examination.
Your weight and height will vary according to race, gender and "bone frame". The normal values also vary to some extent - do a GOOGLE search on "BMI calculator (Body Mass Index)" for a calculator that will assist you with this answer.

Dr Anton

Doctor-
Are there any medical type camps or related camps for high school students? I am going to be a senior and I am very set on becoming a doctor and I want to get involved with everything I can to start learning. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Shelly

Hi Shelly
The Apprentice Doctor Foundation intends having medical camps in the not too distant future.
AHEC organizations also arrange medical camps - where do you live? - then I will put you in contact with your nearest AHEC.

Dr Anton

If you want more detaied info - try the medical forum "ValueMD.com"

Dr Anton

Hi! It's Shankia Brooks. I've always wanted to be a doctor/model. Right now I'm attending Eastern College of Health Vocations. I'm 24 years of age. I just recieved a high school diploma/GED. I've been in eastern about 3 weeks. After this schooling, what should I do? What other schools could I attend to become a stomach doctor. I'm currently in North Little Rock Arkansas, 72114.

Shankia Brooks

Hi Shankia
Have a look at this information:
Become a Doctor
Of course you need to become a doctor first - then do the necessary training to become a gastro-enterologist.

Dr Anton

I just wanted to know if you had any advice or inspiration for me on becoming a general practitioner
thank you doctor, i think your website will really help me reach my dream

buen

Hi Buen
Thx for the kind words!
Have you had a look at the letters fron the doc?
Have a look at this one - and some of the others:

Dr Anton

I really appreciate you starting this site and I wanted to know if there was any specific HSC score you need to get to become a GP.

buen

Buen - I'm not completely familiar with the HSC score - but it seems that you will have to aim for 95+ to study medicine.

Dr Anton

Dr. Anton,

Thanks for the reply. Can you suggest me any medical school admission counselor for international students in Georgia?

polok

Hi Polok
Yes UK schools are recognized in a great number of countries in the world - but every country do have rules and regulations regarding registering as a doctor e.g. entrance exams and other administrative protocols.
Please understand that I am a practicing and very busy - and with multiple thousand of apprentice doctors - I am simply unable to engage a personal e-mail correspondence with all - so feel free to ask as many questions as you like on this page - that way a lot of other guys learn at the same time.

Dr Anton

tell me some good resonable medical colleges and universities in london
how long wiil it take

polok

St George's Hospital Medical School London
Queen May unversity, London
It will take 5 years...

Dr Anton

greetings.doc

can you please advice me about what course shall i choose after my a-levels in bachelors and after masters for becoming cardiac/neuro surgeon

polok

Please note that you always need to become a doctor first - before specializing in any direction.
If you excel in A-levels you should be able to apply straight away for admission to a number of medical schools.
If you want to do an Honors degree first - choose a science major like chemistry/biochemistry or bio-medical science.

Dr Anton

what if am doing medical assisting as a port time job during my pre med studies.

orette

Hi Orette
I think that should be just perfect - if time/studies allows

Dr Anton

what is the advantage and disadvantage of drinking coffee. doc.thank you.

orette

Coffee has very few researched proven advantages - but too much coffee does have numerous well documented disadvantages - mainly to do with abnormal sleeping cycles.

Dr Anton

hi if i didnt do well my freshmen year in highschool and then entered independent studies my sophmore year and eventually graduated with honors and an overall 3.0 in highschool but didnt complete all my a-g couses and took a year off after highschool then started at a community collge can i still realistically become a doctor

mel

You can - get into a B degree with a pre-med program, do your MCAT and apply to med school! But it will take UTTER dedication!

Dr Anton

hey,

i live in england and i was really wanting to persue a career in trhe medical profession and i think i have read somewhere on your website that if i buy a kit it comes with a course and i recieve a certificate and i was woundering if this would be recognised to english medcial schools or if the apprentice doctor is just known mainly in america... i still think i will be buying the kit anyway as it looks soo good and i will be able hopefully to learn alot... write back,, thank you

Lucy

Lucy - in the USA high school student have the option to do the course online and get official credits! I haven't been able to get the same system going in the UK yet. But of course even without official accreditation - it will weigh a bit in your favour I think - a nice addition to enter on your C.V.

Dr Anton

Dr. Anton,
What would be the fees for 4-year pre-med program for international students?I am in US since a year.

Angel

Hi Angel
It varies quite a bit but a ball-park figure of $15 000 and more seems to be the yearly fee required by most universities.

Dr Anton

thankx so much Dr. Anton. i'll be reading a course in med. lab. tech very soon, hoping to become a doc someday but thakx so much 4 all those advices...... pls could u tell the major causes of hepatitis(HAV, HBV, HCV, HDV) and the best way to care or treat it.....

maestro

There are many causes of hepatitis including side effects of a variety of medications, alcohol abuse, and toxins, disorders of the gall bladder or pancreas, and infections. There are many infective agents that can cause, or hepatitis (inflammation of the liver). The term is unfortunately commonly used to refer to a particular group of viruses identified letters of the alphabet Hepatitis A/B/C/D virus etc.
Treatment is empirical - thus removing the cause and addressing the symptoms.

DAVID

Hi David
The Apprentice Corporation is a service organization to prospective medical professionals. I am a practicing doctor and love to answer questions and encourage those who consider medicine as a career. Unfortunately I do not offer any scholarships.
By the way - you offer preciously little information about yourself and your accomplishments - and if I may add some advice - if ever you apply for a scholarship - refrain from using cell-phone style English.
All of the best!

Dr Anton

I am in grade 8 and since next year i will be moving on to high school i will be able to choose my subjects. I want to be a successfull doctor when i am older so if u kan please tell me which subjects i should take it would be great. thnxx

iam student of b.a my subjects are psychology and eng lit i want to become a psychiatrist. is it possible? how

arfa bukhari

You need the maths and science subjects to become a doctor. (You have to be a doctor before you can specialize in Psychiatry). Maybe you should consider psychology.

Dr Anton

Dr Anton

by doc bag i mean the bag doctors used to carry around when they did house calls
neal
p.s. srry about al the questions

wannabie doc

Doctors rarely do house calls these days - and thus the traditional doctor's bag for a large part belongs to history.
These days the synthetic materials has taken over from the respected black leather doctor's bag - but a simple GOOGLE search will reveal dozens of site that sell a variety of doctor's bags.

Dr Anton

what is a biology teacher is it chimistry or science.
,neal
ps wat country do you live in

wannabie doc

Biology is the study of living creatures - maybe you know it as "life sciences"...

Dr Anton

hi doc i wanna share something with you not medically but educationally, for international study who want to study in the usa with a high school diploma,associate degree,bachelor etc. from there country of origin, they can get a evaluation from the foriegn transcript and evaluation.com to find out if they can be used in the usa.
