Richard’s Answer

Your medical school schedule will differ depending on the institution you attend. However, I will answer based on the most common schedule. Typically, your first two years of medical school will be in the classroom. You will better learn the inner-workings of the human body by taking courses in anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, etc. You will take many classes and many exams. The third and fourth years of medical school, you will follow doctors around on rotations and learn how to do general medical tasks, like suture.

Rachel’s Answer

First two years are spent in the library, classroom and coffee shops. You will study almost all day every day. The last two years are spent working in the hospitals and clinics getting hands on training and experience. Wake up at 4 or 5 am, go to hospital to round on patients, spend most of the day in the operating room (on a surgery rotation), get home at 6-9 pm, study some, repeat.

Estelle’s Answer

I agree with Richard. Medical school is four years. Generally the first 2 years are in class with basic medical sciences such as gross anatomy and microbiology and physiology. You then move on to pharmacology and pathology. You will need to dedicate most or your time to intensive studying. You will be introduced to the physical exam during this time. The last 2 years are usually clinical rotations to introduce you to the basic fields of internal medicine, pediatrics, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology. Good luck!
