Re: Length of medical education
by kena on Monday May 09, 2005 @ 07:14 PM
hi
Actually i am in a great dilema .. i dont know whether i should take medicine or pharmacy .. I read your article and thought that may be you can solve my problem.. i heard about the length of medical studies.. it takes about 10-12 yrs. to complete medical studies and it takes only 6 yrs. to go in pharmacy .. My parents say that for a girl it is always better to go in pharmacy as there are no emergencies also in it and you complete it fast only in 6 years. Their point of view is right but from my childhood i always wanted to become a doctor . It is like if i think by my mind i think i should go in pharmacy but if i think by my heart i always wanted to become a doctor ..

If you can help me ..
Waiting for your reply

    Go be a doctor. The years pass quickly and you have to occupy that time, why not let it be something you really want to do? You do not want to be one of those doctor-wanna-be pharmacists. It is bad for you, bad for the patient and bad for the doctors. You can tailor make your schedule after some years have passed. Not all doctors do call or have emergencies, etc.

    Hello Kena! So you're having a problem on deciding whether to take a medical training course or a pharmacy course?
    Well, my advice is: "always follow your heart". I think you should follow your heart into studying Medicine. Actually, it isn't very long at all. Time flows quickly. Whilst you are still being educated on Medicine and being trained, you can also have a part-time job, and since you like medicine so, so much, you can take a medicine- or science-related job.
    If you apply for a part-time job after pre-clinicary medical education (the first part), it'll look excellent on your CV!

    Just follow your heart.
