To be a medical doctor you should be in the pre-med undergraduate program, you will take biology, chemistry, psychology, and other science classes. Explore the gamut of opportunities, there is medical research, epidemiology, psychology, various sub-disciplines of pediatrics such as childhood developmental psychology, general practitioner, oncologist, etc.
