qn on studying medicine/healthcare
-
Hi, i'm taking my o'levels next yr & i'm interested in a career in medicine. What courses & schools should i apply to in the future.
I only know that one route, which is go to JC, then to uni, & study to be a doctor. Are there other ways? Because i dont think i'm smart enough to go to a JC.
My other questions are:
- to be a specialist doctor (lk for eyes or nutrition, etc), what courses do i have to take?
- if i study to be a nurse, is there a way to go from nurse to being a doctor?
- if i apply to polys, are there any courses that will lead to medical school?
Please give as much info as possible because no one seems to be able to help me. Thanks

to transfer from being a nurse or even courses from Poly to be a DOCTOR would be MOST DIFFICULT if not IMPOSSIBLE?
To be a SPECIALIST doctor, you'll naturally have to be a DOCTOR 1st.
If you thinking of healthcare related jobs, you might like to try NURSING, MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIST, RADIOLOGIST, PHARMIST etc? -
From my dear who did nursing in nyp and later became one, there is no shortcut to becoming a doctor.

Because I noticed in the course of my studies as one, I learnt the 2 things that you mentioned.Originally posted by -mist-:lol..tt is mechanical meh? i seriously wan study those if nt be businessman lol
Astronomy---->Sometimes at night, I lie down and stare into the night sky, and ask myself, why the hell am I studying engineering?
Time travel---->Sometimes I ponder, if I didn't do this, this, this, and that in the past, would I be doing that, that, that, and this now!?!?!
Thats why my reply to you in the previous post. -

JC prepares you for uni. If JCs had such intensive courses, I'll be learning to be an astronaut in poly.
