What's the road to becoming an ob/gyn, from high school on?
541300
Go to a 4-year school (preferably one with a good reputation), take the required prerequisite pre-med courses like Physics, Calculus, Biology, Chemistry... then take the MCAT test for acceptance into a medical school. Spend the next 4+ years in med school working crazy hours and doing rotations in all aspects of medicine (emergency, surgery, peds, etc.) then specialize in Ob/gyn. Hope this helps. Universities have more info on specific requirements for med school.

you have to got class for a long time for anything medical, so forget it\n\nactually, it depends on what kind of medical you are talking about..but if you are in high school, no technical school certificate will let you get a "hands on medical" experience that would lead to a degree. you have to go to medical school.\n\nunless you are talking about....ummm...maybe some kind of assistant job (no degree) like in surgery or as a lab tech, or something minor.\n\nthey won't hire just anyone into a real medical field unless you have been in college for a long time, and have a degree.

I don't know any schools in your area but I have some info that might help.\n\nCheck the local hospitals as they might have a school there as well as the local technical colleges. \n\n Besides from the grades, you need a background in chemistry and anatomy.  So if you don't have those classes you should take them before you can even get into the program.  You also need to have experience in hospital setting and if that means volunteering at hospitals or old age homes, get out and do it.  The more you have the better they will look at you.\n\nIn my area, the wait list is about 2 years long to get into the program and you have to have prereqs done before you can even apply to get onto the wait list.  \n\nWhen you find the school you'd like to attend they should have a course guideline that will tell you the classes you need to finish your degree.\n\nHope this link helps.\n\nGood luck in your career change.

Talk to the high school itself. Usually the assistance comes from the church or from a parents' organization. Not all high schools have such assistance available. Talk to the school admissions office.

I don't think there is anything specific you would need in high school as long as you take all the general classes like math science english with whatever electives.  It's only when you're in college do the courses really matter. High school only preps you for stuff. Regardless of whether you take bio or not, you're still gonna need college level bio, anatomy, kinesiology, organic chem, etc.  Even with advanced classes in high school you can't bypass those classes. At best you can skip like the general bio/chem but that's after you take AP classes.  In order to decide your interest, the BEST way to figure out whether you would like something or not is to volunteer. TRUST ME because it will save a lot of wasted time in college taking classes you won't want.  I spent about 2.5 years taking advanced chem/bio/physics thinking I wanted to be in the sciences to have it all go to waste. I wish I spent more time exploring different careers in high school to at least determine what I didn't like.  Picking a career is tough and only the rare few will find the things they truly love and enjoy.  GOOD LUCK!

Well, I can tell you the path thus far...\n\nStraight A's in high school --> 1350 on the old SAT (31 ACT) --> BA in molecular biology at UC Berkeley --> muddled through with a 3.0 --> 31 MCAT --> master's degree in public health at USC (Trojans, not Game Cocks) --> 32 MCAT --> job as an epidemiologist at the health department --> applications --> rejection --> applications.

Well you have to be a LPN at the very least.You most likely want to work in Labor/Delivery.Its a exciting career option.You might also want to consider becoming a nurse practitioner/midwife.Good Luck and great choice.\np.s Im working on becoming a nurse as well,chemistry,biology,and to some extent Physics are very important so pay attention in high school and get really good grades.

Only 13 and setting goals! Good for you!\n\nYou need good grades all through school.  They do not have to be perfect, but you want to get into a decent college.  Find a college with a good pre-med program.  You will do four years of undergraduate work in college and get a bachelors degree.\n\nThen you will do post-graduate work at a medical school.... internship, etc.\n\nA well-rounded student is a good thing.  Play a sport, join a club, do community service such as charity work.  It all looks good on a resume and college application.\n\nWith good grades, when you get into high school, you will have opportunities to join honor societies.  These often have scholarships for college and look great on your application and resume.  Join them if you qualify!\n\nStudent government is a good thing too.\n\nNow, everything together may take up too much time.  Choose the things you are interested in and be a leader.... get voted president or at least some position high in the group.  Looks good on an application or resume.\n\nIf this is really your dream, don't let anyone, even your mom dissuade you.\n\nI'm 47 yrs old.  No one in my family ever went to college.  I started in my 30s and it took me 13 yrs to get a bachelor's degree.  I was a single mom by then and did it the hard way.  No one told me HOW to do it, and I had to fight my way through.  But I DID graduate!  And now I am working on a master's degree in business administration.\n\nDon't give up on your dream.  Set goals and plan ahead.  You cannot be lazy and get to be a surgeon.  Study hard all through school, and especially HEALTH and BIOLOGY (any biological science you can take) courses.  That will give you a good start, even before college.\n\nBest Wishes and God Speed!\n\nSue

go to you local high school counciling center, the library, or contact a local hospital and review the material on colleges across the united states and what degree programs they offer.  an RN is at least 2 years or more of study.  Contact the local or state nurses association and ask them for a list of qualified colleges that you could further research

A residency in the specialty (in the US, different countries have different training). Oh, and a serious TON of malpractice insurance.\n\nYou might check out the website of the American Board of Ob & Gyn:\nhttp://www.abog.org\n\nfor info about board certification in the specialty, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics for general info about training and more:\nhttp://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos074.htm#training

Finish though high school.  If you still wish to, you can during high school talk to the formation department at your parish, perhaps visit a few seminaries and the such.\n\nAfter high school, you would to though their seminary

Take (anatomy and physiology).  That is the name of one class.  When I took it in high school, we learned about all the parts of the human body and dissected a cat.  Like the others said, AP biology and chemistry would be good too.  Does your school offer any agricultural classes?  Learning about taking care of livestock animals may give you a good perspective too.  \nGood luck on becoming a midwife.  I think that would be a neat career.

call your local Community College, or the high-school guidance office. Either of them will be able to assist you.  \n\nGood luck.....I got my GED 20 years ago, went on to Community College, and then went on to get my Bachelor's in Health Science........reach for the stars!!!!!!
