Many people dream about becoming doctors; to going around saving lives. It is a great profession that will make you feel amazing as you help people around you. The problem is that many people lose sight of that dream, of becoming a doctor for many reasons: for example: lack of money, not sure what classes to take, has a family, takes too long, etc… The reasons can go on and on. What I would like to do is teach you about what you have to do and how to finish faster without wasting time doing things that are not necessary for you to accomplish your goals of becoming a physician.
Many of you might just be finishing highschool, some the GED and other might have been working for years and have decided that you want to be a doctor. Let’s say you are starting from scratch, there are many ways to “cheat” the system and finish faster than the average person. Do you have to be smarter? No. Do you have to have more money? No, actually you will probably end up saving hundreds and possibly thousands of dollars. Time is the only thing that we do not have enough of, and after you do something or make a mistake, there is no going back. Here I am going to list a few topics that I will write about and would like to explain for those who do not have a clue on how, or what they are.
