What I learn in my medical career

September 16, 2008 by admin 

If you are interested in becoming a doctor you need to think about the third year of medical school, when classroom instruction is over and the student is thrown into hands-on contact with a bewildering assortment of patients. The glamour of medicine quickly wears off as you will finds yourself up to his elbows in blood, diseased tissue, and body wastes. Are you still interested? OK. Read on..

Whether you just started thinking about a career in medicine or have dreamed of becoming a doctor since childhood, find out as much information about medical school as possible. Go though this process knowing the steps you will take in the coming months or years to prepare yourself for a career in medicine.

As well, if one has gone to medical school in a country abroad and plans to practice in an English speaking country, there may be language requirements prior to becoming a doctor. Being a doctor requires full familiarity with medical terms, and if these terms are lost in translation, mistakes can be made. Becoming a doctor is about acquiring and ensuring a professional approach across the whole of your career.

It seems easier to imagine becoming an excellent and experienced doctor (which, nearly by definition, I am not) than it was to imagine becoming a doctor at all. The next part of my training will require more work, more cognitive strain, and a steeper learning curve than medical school ever asked of me. Becoming a doctor isn’t an easy option – it takes years of study and hard work. As you learn the skills you need, you will also learn a great deal about yourself.  I made the decision to wanting to become a doctor when I was 15 years old.Becoming a doctor requires more training than most other jobs. It usually takes at least 11 years to become a doctor: 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, and 3 years working in a hospital (residency training).

These are the basic requirements for becoming a doctor. As I mentioned before the whole process takes about 11 years from college to residency. Don’t let this article discourage you, if becoming a doctor is your passion in life do not let anyone or anything impede your journey to helping others. Even when times might seem bleek and rough their is always a light at the end of the tunnel.

As far as I am aware, most students who plan to go to medical school work real hard. The reason is simple: to be successful in getting to medical school you need to be very good unless you have some special qualities that will allow you to get in with substandard grades. Not only you have to learn about medicine but also learning about  medical staffing software and the use of medical transcription software  is vital now a days.

If you are interested in eading more, I will advice you so tead Ofri’s journey from medical student to intern to resident to doctor at Bellevue Hospital in New York City. But it is also the searing story of how one doctor learns that when it comes to healing, intimacy (along with narrative) is as important as therapeutic applications of science — perhaps more important when healing becomes impossible, and the patient is facing death. You go to the hospital (the “wards”) and work with a team of other students and doctors. You see patients, follow their progress in the hospital, and learn what you can.
