Time
- It takes a significant amount of time to get the fundamentals for Medicine. Students typically spend four years in medical school, followed by several years of residency and fellowship training. However, becoming well adept in this topic can take several more years of practice and experience. It is a lifelong learning process, as new research and techniques are constantly emerging in the field.
Courses
Medicine courses build upon a foundation of prerequisite courses, such as biology, chemistry, and physics. After completing the basic medical sciences, students move on to clinical rotations, where they gain hands-on experience in various specialties such as pediatrics, surgery, and internal medicine. Advanced courses are available in specialties such as cardiology, neurology, and oncology.
