Great question! If you're thinking about going down this path, you'll typically need a college degree. This should include courses in various sciences, math, and a subject that really sparks your interest. After that, the next step is to get into a medical school, which is a 4-year journey. Once you've completed that, you'll spend at least 3 years doing a residency. This is where you'll bring together everything you've learned. Along the way, you'll need to pass several standardized tests. But don't worry, with hard work and dedication, you'll find them manageable.

Beyond the educational prerequisites mentioned earlier, it's crucial for you to cultivate a portfolio filled with community involvement. While medical school admissions do place a significant emphasis on GPA and scholastic accomplishments, they also value personal growth and actions that positively impact the community. In our local area, for example, people generously donate their time at our community clinic. They also participate on the board to extend the clinic's reach and guarantee its high-quality service to the community.
