Hello. I am a student and I want to go on to medical field. I jest want to know How can I get start on to anythings before I get out of high school.
Answered by Richard E. Gans, M. D. (reg@ofcn.org)
Start by volunteering in a hospital or clinic. Get a feel for what the day-to-day life in the medical field is. If it is still appealing, look into the educational requirements for entry into medical school. Look at the financial obligations associated with a medical education.
Most importantly, talk to individuals involved in the medical field to try to understand what medical practice will be like in the future.
Good luck.
