Hi, i am currently in year 10 and doing my gcse's i am alright with that but what i wanted to know was, what i need to study in college to go to medical school? and also how many years do i study in medical school and the training to be a doctor after that and them things ?????
medicine at Uni 5 years then 2 years foundation training then further training to become a GP/consultant varying from 5-7/8 more years Alevels-bio chem and two others (most do maths and something else)
But i asked my cousin and she said during the foundation (2) years u get paid and if u want to specialize it depends on what you want to specialize. Also how much do you get paid ?
You get paid as soon as you leave university when you're classed as a junior doctor.
Your foundation years involve working rotations and doing exams at the same time. An F1 doctor earns £22000+ per year. But if you're only interested in money, you shouldn't study medicine... lots of training before that.

1st foundation year its about 25,000 then goes up to about 28,000 in 2nd year, i start medical school this year so if you want any advice just ask
please please please, dont do medicine for the money. if you want money, do a maths degree or something. In year 10 I was so naive, DO EVERYTHING you can to check mediicne is for you. Make a list of all the negatives. its a big commitment time flies too, it was yesterday I was in your position and hopefully I'll be at uni in Sept. Dont waste the time
yes its same thing really medical schools are set up specifically for medicine with other course too whereas university at medicine is a part of the uni i.e st georges med school, HYMS (although its part of york and hull) no difference really as med schools are based at a Uni

I did biology, chemistry, maths, physics and general studies to AS and then dropped physics and general studies at A2. General studies is not counted by the majority of medical schools.
2 years working as a Foundation doctor ... you're thinking about specializing at this point. After foundation years you're working to specialise to become a GP or consultant. To become a GP, you spend about 4 years specialising.
