Medical Forum / General / Vision / May 2007Proceeding Into The Profession of Opthalmology
My ambition is to become an ophthalmologist. I am still in education, so I am wondering, since a lot of people here are very old and have a lot experience, what would you recommend I should specialize at? Do you have any regrets from your youth that would have made entry into opthalmology professions easier? Biology is the most important subject I should study, I am guessing? Where should I take experience? I have already had a small amount work experience at an optician shop. What will interviewers look for and stuff? Thanks guys. I had no idea opthamology has a "special ed course". > I had no idea opthamology has a "special ed course".

Whomever it is, you started with the wrong foot. What you have done here in the last few days is not the right entry to ophthalmology. >My ambition is to become an ophthalmologist. Forget it. You are an obnoxious fool. > so I am wondering, since a lot of people here are >very old and have a lot experience First of all, I would consider learning basic etiquette. And furthermore, you are an obnoxious fool so just forget it. > My ambition is to become an ophthalmologist. > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Thanks guys. Judging from your message, I doubt you'll get into a medical school. > My ambition is to become an ophthalmologist. > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > What will interviewers look for and stuff? > Thanks guys. what kind of education are you in? > -- > Message posted via MedKB.comhttp://www.medkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/vision/200705/1 Secondary/High School > Secondary/High School Concentrate on getting into a college with a good placement record for medical schools. Take several sciences like chemistry, physics, calculus while you concentrate on getting into medical school. They want to see balance, so read Time magazine and do some intramurals or chess club or kayaking. Then, three years into med school it's time to think about which specialty. That's 9-10 years from now. By then you've changed your mind several times. You'll discover specialties you never dreamed of and you'll meet people who will influence you in unpredictable ways. -MT Oh, Thank You Very Much Mike! > Oh, Thank You Very Much Mike! Right now, you should be trying your best to get into a good college. One step at a time. |
