Certainly, begin by exploring popular undergraduate majors for individuals in the medical profession. Keep in mind that there are various career paths in this field, such as nurses, doctors, and more. Are there any specific specialties that pique your interest, like emergency medicine, ophthalmology, or anesthesiology? It would be fantastic if you could connect with professionals in your desired career and gather their insights on the ideal major for you. From my personal experience, I pursued chemical engineering, and many of my peers continued on to medical school to become doctors, so that's one possible route. Ultimately, if possible, try to pinpoint your preferred area within the medical field, as this could influence your choice of major. If you're open and adaptable, rest assured that there are multiple paths and majors to help you achieve your desired career.
