| "I just wanted to know more about the
medical field because I am a pre-med major and I am
trying to pursue a career in medicene."
I am pleased to know of your interest in the medical
field. Medicine provides a great blend of science
and the ability to make a difference in patients'
lives and in your community.
After college, doctors attend a 4 year medical program.
This can be either allopathic (MD) or osteopathic
(DO). During medical school, doctors choose one of
about 33 specialties. After medical school, they enroll
in a training program designed for their specialty,
called a residency program. There is a lot of flexibility
in medicine that will allow you to see a large variety
of medical problems and patients. As a Family physician,
I have delivered babies, taken care of pregnant moms,
taken care of nursing home patients, treated patients
in the hospital and ICU, performed minor surgical
procedures, and provided care in the Emergency Department.
I am happy to provide further answers to your questions.
What else do you want to know about becoming a doctor?
