Hi, I just wanted to know what type of doctor should I be. Is it possible to be an ER Physician and a General Surgeon, will I have to study a lot more. How many years, what is the process?
Answer:
OK, ER Doc + Surgeon = Trauma Surgeon. You go into surgery, then do advanced work in trauma surgery.
How many years? It's been a while since I looked at that, but somewhere in the 7-10 years range after medical school, which is usually about 4 years after premed which is about 4 years. Add it all up, that's about 15-18 years post-highschool.
Go to med school, then if you pass, you can discover what type of medicine interests you in clinic.
you will have to study no matter what. you need to get a bachelors degree then take MCAT exam and apply to get into med school. if accepted you will go 4 years and then may specialize after that if you want. you can be a general surgeon who is on call at the ER for emergency surgeries but the ER physician will always be in the ER as thats their place of employment.
good luck!
be a geneticist and stop disease before it happens. You will need to study.
You are jumping the gun a bit here, bucko. You cannot possibly have even an inkling of a clue until you are in your third year of medical school.
Worry about it then.
ALL doctors get the same 4 years of medical school. It's different than college. No majors. You don't specialize until you have your MD and have graduated.
Best advice is not to worry about it until you're at the end of your third year of medical school; then you'll have a better idea of what you want to do. You'll almost certainly not want to train in both specialties, but you may find trauma surgery to your liking; however, it's too soon for you to plan that far.

ReplyDeleteI am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome.
