How To Become A Doctor Fast

[Al3xt3hgr43t]

Thanks for posting this video. :)

[mexfight]

when is it too late to become a doctor? i'm 27 without an undergraduate degree.

[TitanSubZero15]

@mexfight It's never too late, just keep in mind that in you're looking at least 8 years of school when you're done with medical school.

[aaahhhhaaaahhhh]

@mexfight Its never too late!, medicine is more than just a career, youll be remembered for your capabilities not for how old you were when you graduated.

[MoneyOverYours]

@mexfight

It would take 4 years of college and 4 years of medical school. You would be 35 years old. While that sounds a little unappealing, think of it this way. In 8 years, you're 35, regardless of what you do with that time. Either do something great with it, like try to become a doctor, or grow old and wonder about the road not taken. Personally, I would hate to look back and regret not doing something amazing in my life, so that is why I am set on becoming a surgeon.

Good luck.

is 19 to old to start college to become a doctor?

[amdcs90]

@GTYmassive Not at all. :)

[aaahhhhaaaahhhh]

@GTYmassive no.

[ecnuob14]

If I do decide to go and become an international medical graduate will that affect me being able to specialize in surgery or another practice?

[cjn9999]

@ecnuob14 Yes and No at the same time, it is harder to get into general surgery but not entirely too hard. Dermatology = extremely hard. Make sure you try hard for US MD/DO or attend SGU or maybe AUC in the Caribbean. Saba has 75% required in courses and Ross IMO has high attrition, SGU surpasses them all but all can yield a doctor. Work hard and u can get there for sure.

Wow thank you so much this is so helpful!

[gioojj]

but I do not think that other countries offer same level of of education... I am from republic of Georgia and I know that, top med schools are in US. I wish I could go in US medical school but I can not. I think each US citizen should stay in their country because they do not have a better option...

[TheFranzruss]

i like hom..hope i get to see him someday lol//btw im in 3rd yr med now

[neuromercury]

i'd rather do some summer courses in my undergraduate.

[ALEXCHASE750]

Isnt it true that people who get the M.D in the caribean have less chance of getting the residency they want?

[PhysiologicAli]

@ALEXCHASE750

It all comes down to your USMLE scores. The higher the better.

[ladysovisdabest]

im only 13 and some how i wanna be a doctor when i grow up ......easier said then done right?

[gioojj]

@ladysovisdabest  I am 17 and I want to be a doctor too, I think everything can be done, if you wish...

[fghjhgf99]

Not to mention, you'll probably have difficulties adjusting to the country you're going to reside in. Especially financially wise, unless someone is going to support you.

Rubbish that is.

[DEACONAP4LOVE]

For the clep you must know the material very well. This is indeed a "shorcut" but not easy by any means. Saying it is one thing, doing it is another.

[menillo]

I think what he is saying is that in Mexico and other countries, you don't do premed, you go straight into med school once you pass your entrance exam. Now this is straight out of high school. So that is basically 3-4 years of premed you don't have to do. So I can see how it is possible to get your MD faster. Another plus that i see from this is that the practice you get is very hands on.  Thanks for the info Gabriel, it was very helpful.

[Ledarifique]

Save 3, 4, 5 years. That is the most stupid thing I have ever heard you are implying that in some places you can get it in 3 pfff the minimum is 5.

[AManfromGoljota]

Hi Gabriel, Thanks for the great info. It is great to know you did your B.S. at Loma Linda. I just finished my BS in Radiation Science here at Loma Linda and hunting for jobs, which is currently so horrible. I wish I knew your info before I spent too much money for undergrad. If I don't find a job, I am planning to head onto the med school. I don't know the extent of the sucrifice, but that seems to be the only alternative right now. Thanks again.

[ucsbrat]

very informative man, wish i had someone to help me when i went through it. keep this up, many will benefit from it.

[colberrrt]

@TheJameelahmad I don't think you get a Ph.D., and then you're called a doctor. Most physicians are M.D.'s as far as I know.

[JonTStudios]

@TheJameelahmad ok thank you very much :D

[joeylodes]

ugggg .... i should post a vid on how to make getting the MD a LONGER process!!!!!

[TheWICCACHANNEL]

[VeronicaSoSexy]

Awesome advice. A friend of mine, her dad went to medical school in Mexico because it's so much cheaper, I will deffinetly follow those steps, but you made it a lot more clear thanks!

[TheAtomicBrahm]
