Good medical schools?

I want to be a peditration, but I’m not sure what college to go too. I have no idea, I wanted to go to the University of Virginia but I don’t know if that has good medical programs.

I’m looking for one of those colleges, where you can go straight into medical school after college. And you only need to do 6 years of school rather then 8 or whatever it usually is.

Does anyone know about schools like that? My school councler was NO help. So I’m wondering if yahoo could help me=)

also if I went to one of those schools, can I do a double major? Like maybe both medicine and music.

all medical schools are the same. the only thing that matters is where you do your residency. Children’s hospital of philly is good, as well as the hospital for sick children in toronto (although outside the us)

I think some clarification is needed. The six year programs you mentioned are programs you enter out of high school in which you pursue your undergrad degree at the same time you are pursuing your MD. This link will take you to a list of all the schools that offer this program: http://services.aamc.org/currdir/section3/start.cfm

If you were accepted into one of these combined degree programs, you probably wouldn’t have the time for a music major/minor. But I can’t say that I know that for sure, as I didn’t go that route. But you should visit the different schools with these programs and review their curricula–that ought to tell you.

And yes, The University of Virginia has an excellent medical school. All three medical schools in Virginia have good reputations.

Depending on how far away from home you would be willing to go, UC Davis in California is an excellent medical school. Also, UCLA in Los Angeles, CA. What about John Hopkins? Isn’t that supposed to be one of the leading medical schools in the nation?

Those schools with programs that get you directly to med school is very tough to get into.

However, saying this you can do it but it is going to take a lot of determination, hard work and long hours of studying.

It depends on which state you would like to go to and what not. Now, UCLA’s medcial program is just amazing and yes, they are very well known, same with Stanford and also Duke.

So again, it just depens on what you like and where you like to go. If you need more help, feel free to email me ([email protected])

Good luck
