José’s Answer

In your country, medicine career is long, lasts about 11 years. In the first place it will be necessary to study during four years of Bachelor's Degree, in which students have to take pre-medicine subjects. After that, candidates have to study five years of general medicine, at a theoretical level, after which they have to spend two years of residence in hospitals. With all these studies you get the title of Medical Doctor. On the other hand, nursing studies last approximately 4 and a half years.

I hope this information is helpful !!!

José recommends the following next steps:

A good exercise would be that you look for internet pensums of studies of both careers in different universities

Richard’s Answer

In the US, to apply to medical school, you need a bachelor's degree. Any 4-year university should suffice.
Pick a major that interests you so you don't mind devoting a majority of your hours to studying. You will need to get good grades in college in order to apply for medical school. At the medical school I attended, the average GPA is reported to be 3.85, so even one or two B's can hurt your chances of acceptance.
Aside from this, any major is acceptable as long as you complete the prerequisite courses.
Typical medical school prerequisites include:
Biology: Lecture – 4 semesters; Lab – 1 semester
General Chemistry: Lecture – 2 semesters; Lab – 1 semester
Organic Chemistry: Lecture – 2 semesters; Lab – 1 semester
Biochemistry: Lecture – 1 semester
General Physics: Lecture – 2 semesters; Lab – 1 semester
Math: Statistics – 1 semester
English: Rhetoric (Composition) and Literature – 2 semesters

Apply to medical schools during your last year of college.

Medical school takes 4 years to complete.
After medical school physicians complete a residency for additional training. These can last 3-6 years and are sometimes followed by an additional year or two of fellowship subspecialty training.

Hwal’s Answer

Kiara,

What major or career were you considering? I'm a current PA student, and admission to most PA programs requires a bachelor's degree (in any major). For nursing, I believe there are associate's degree programs that qualify you to take the exam to become a registered nurse (RN), although the current trend seems to be towards bachelor's degree level education for RNs. I hope this helps.

Good luck!

Hwal
