Introduction You want to be a doctor. At least, that is what I am assuming. Otherwise you would not be reading this book! Well, becoming a doctor is a very laudable goal. I don’t say that merely because I shared that goal – I say it because a physician does a lot of good in the world. When you are able to heal the sick, you are performing a wonderful duty for all humanity. Fortunately, with all the breakthroughs in medicine and technology, we doctors are able to do more for our patients than at any other time in history! As our knowledge and resources continue to grow, I am sure that positive trend will continue. Unfortunately, it is not just our knowledge and resources that are growing by leaps and bounds – the world’s population is as well. By the time you read this, it will undoubtedly have crashed through the seven billion mark. That means many more health care professionals will be needed, not only here in the U.S., but also around the globe. That’s why reaching your medical objectives is important not only for yourself, but for everyone you will hopefully be able to help when you’ve graduated from medical school. First…you must successfully pass the admissions process at a medical school. And I’ve designed this book to help you do just that, beginning with your first steps in high school and taking you all the way through the admissions process itself. If you think you don’t really need this book, that all the steps to becoming a doctor are fairly self-evident, I would urge you to reconsider your feelings in this matter. Getting into medical school is not an easy process – I know this first-hand. My dreams of becoming a doctor began when I was in high school – and at the time, I had no idea how daunting that challenge was. The fact is that there are only one hundred and fifty-nine medical schools in all of America at the time of this writing – and they routinely reject over half of their applicants. That’s why being accepted at one is most likely the most difficult task any would-be doctor has in front of him or her – yes, I’m saying it’s harder to get into a medical school than it is to graduate out of one! I won’t say I was lucky to have succeeded in my goal of becoming a doctor, because I know how hard I worked to reach that goal. I have often reflected on those days of struggle and thought to myself, “If I had only known then what I know now….it all would have been a lot easier.”
Chapter 1: Facts about the Field of Medicine As you contemplate your goal of becoming a doctor, it’s important to be familiar with all the relevant facts about your future choice of profession. This chapter will provide “the basics” about doctors in today’s society – the average length of training, the number of doctors practicing today, the different kinds of doctors you can become, and so forth. With this sort of “big picture,” you’ll be able to gain a broader perspective on this career choice and what it entails. THE TYPES OF DOCTORS
