I want to go a college to study medicine to become a M.D and skin care specialist and I want to know how can I get in to that? Is there a Special school that I need to go to? How I go about becoming an M.D? Do I have to become a nurse first? I'm clueless! Please help me!

Thanks

Are you still in high school? If so, you will have to take the science courses your school offers. If they offer biology take it, if they offer anatomy & physiology, take it. You will also need to take all of the maths.

The special school you go to would be medical school. Do you have to be a nurse first? No you don't.

Actually I'm not in high school, I finish high school in 2006 and I took a year off and now I want to go in to medicine, I did take science and a lot of math classes in high school, that's about it

Yes, basically you will want a pre med college courses offered at many colleges, after college you will go on to medical school, and after medical school an your internship you will go back for your speciality and another internship.

You must first finish a 4 degree college. Then afterwards, take your mcats. Apply to a medical school for 4 years. You wanted to do dermatology... after 4 years of med school, you must go through 4 years of medical residency... and during that time, you'll choose your specialty.

Good luck.

[murshyblues]

Because they have a course in health professions and I don't live too far from it. Do I have to visit Queens college before I apply?

[ISneezeFunny]

No need to actually visit before applying, but it would be good to actually see what you're getting yourself into before applying. A trip there may change your mind or reinforce it.

Your going need to take probably 1 yr of gen bio 1 yr of gen chem 1 yr of organic chem 1 yr of physics and probably 1 sem to 2sem(1yr) of calculus and u'll probably need your Bachelors before you apply to med school.. along with your MCAT(standardized test) scores

It's a 3 yr residency (I think) after 4 yrs of med school..
