Is medical school worth it?

I'm not quick with math... and I got through medical school. Just don't go into anaesthetics as fast calculations are important, lol. Calculus is pretty useless in medicine... not even sure why it's part of pre-med. I'm vaguely aware of the squiggly line meaning integration, but don't ask me what integration is exactly. Yes, I passed advanced calculus in premed... did quite well if I remember correctly.... but never used it again so forgot it all.

Medschool is worth it as long as it's your choice to do it and no one else's e.g. mum, dad. Once you're selected into medical school, the general consensus is that you have what it takes and you can do it. It's hard work, but in my opinion totally worth it.

You don't need maths in medical school. There is a small amount of biostatistics, but nothing else, and you can go to medical school without any mathematical background at all.

As for whether or not it's "worth it"- that depends. Medical school is a huge committment and is very hard work. But it's also one of the most fulfilling and rewarding careers there is. So if you really want to do it, you'll love it. Otherwise, you won't.

Medical field doesnt require math. Life sciences like biology and chemistry are most important. Not math.

Good luck!

You can also consider a career as physical therapist, physician, etc. Or if you dont want to study for so long, you can choose to become physicians assistant or medical assistant too.

Are you in college? What instructions have you ever taken so some distance? have you ever shadowed a dr or volunteered in an ER? do you want to do surgical technique, inner drugs, or something else? perhaps maximum heavily, are you good at memorizing issues? in case you have some extra time and money, bypass to a e book shop and purchase a board evaluate e book. attempt a evaluate e book for step a million of the USMLE or something like that. in case you could desire to make numerous money, do something else. between identifying to purchase med college and identifying to purchase scientific malpractice insurance, you will no longer have as plenty left as you could think of.

A. Too many shrinks as it is.

B. The Federales are taking over medicine.

Look for a field with less competition, that the government is not on the verge of royally screwing up.

Medical school is "worth it" if you want to be a doctor (including psychiatry). If you don't, then I guess it isn't worth it....

**** medical school! Teach yourself medicine and be less reliant upon half way houses.
