Medical education in the USA for school graduates.

 

Medical education in the United States has its own characteristics. You can study medicine in the USA only at professional medical schools (Medical Schools), and you should start the path to medical education in the USA with a bachelor's program. EDUSTEPS educational agency has developed a step-by-step study plan for students in America using the example of Arizona State University, University of Tulsa and Simmons University. This plan will help you get a medical education and become a doctor in the USA.

 Medical education in the United States is one of the most sought after areas.

 Everyone knows that the United States occupies a leading position in the world in terms of the level and effectiveness of scientific research, and the standards of American medicine are recognized throughout the world. Despite the fact that about 25,000 students from medical schools graduate annually, there is an acute shortage of specialists. You need to understand that training requires a lot of time and large financial investments, the admission process is not easy, especially for foreign students. But after going this long way, students expect a prestigious and well-paid job. For example, a family doctor receives an average of $ 192,000 per year, and the work of a surgeon is estimated at an average of $ 247,520 per year.

 How to become a doctor in the USA

 EDUSTEPS Education Agency has developed a step-by-step plan for you, based on examples from our partner universities. Following this plan, you can get a medical education in the USA and become a doctor.

 1 Receive a bachelor’s degree from a US university: obtain a bachelor’s degree from an accredited Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts university with specialized subjects in chemistry and biology. Popular specialties include Biology, Chemistry, and Exercise Science.

 2 MCAT: register and take the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test). The test is required for admission to a medical school in the United States.

 3 Admission to medical school for the MD program: applying to medical schools in the last year of study or later, since there is no specific time frame. Submission occurs through the portal AMCAS (American Medical College Application Service). Not all medical schools accept international students.

 4 Take training at a medical school: training at a medical school lasts 4 years, of which 2 years - theoretical training, 2 years - clinical practice. In the last year of study, the student chooses his specialization.

 5 Residency: after graduating from medical school, the student on a competitive basis applies for residency, which takes 3 years or more, depending on specialization.

 6 Fellowship: a highly specialized practice (Fellowship), which lasts 1-2 years. It is not mandatory, it depends on medical specialization. Usually, students have time to do internship during residency.

 6 Obtain a license: In order to legally practice medicine in the USA, students must pass and receive a passing score in the US Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE), which consists of three parts during and after medical school.

 Study as a doctor in the USA

 It is best to start a medical education in the USA with a bachelor's program. It is quite difficult for students with higher education in their own country to enroll in medical schools in the United States due to the fact that they do not have substantial training. The choice of a bachelor's program should be approached carefully, since further admission to a medical school in the United States will depend on it.

 EDUSTEPS Education Agency offers three universities in the USA, whose programs lead to further admission to medical programs:

 If you are seriously thinking about studying in the USA in the field of medicine, you need to understand that:

 - Training in this specialty takes at least 7 years

 - There is no medical education in the USA at the bachelor's level, you need to study at a medical school, and this is + 3 years

 - Medical education is expensive and there are no discounts, grants or scholarships at a medical school, except that there may be discounts on a bachelor's program.

 These areas are especially relevant today. Medicine, as a practice, is changing approaches, which is why good specialists around the world in this field are especially needed now. If you need additional advice on the application process, you can always contact EDUSTEPS with the necessary documents.
