medical internist

Internal Medicine is the medical specialty concerned with the diagnosis, management and nonsurgical treatment of unusual or serious diseases. In North America, specialists in internal medicine are commonly called, "Internists." Elsewhere, especially in Commonwealth nations, such specialists are often called Physicians. Because their patients are often seriously ill or require complex investigations, internists do much of their work in hospitals. Formerly, many internists were not subspecialized and would see any complex nonsurgical problem; this style of practice has become much less common.....

A:Get your undergrad degree (premed, nursing, whatever) and then go to medical school. After that match in an internal medicine residency (there are a lot of good ones). Three years later-BAM, you're an internist, easy as that.

100% Q: I want to be a internist for my career choice, so what should I major in before going to medical school?

I want to be a internist (general) for my career choice, so what should I major in before going to medical school?

A:Medical schools don't care what you major in as long as you get the mandatory science classes done, such as a year of biology, a year of chemistry, a year of physics, a year of english, and so on. Some of them even like if you majored in something completely different like music or history to show you are well-rounded. My advice would be to major in something you are interested in because more then anything medical schools like good grades and you having a passion for what you're studying. If you feel like you just really want to study biology in depth, and want to major in it, go for it, but its not a requirement that you do so for medical school.
