A bunch of random questions.

Pre-Med & Medical School High School Student Topics

<p>Is Texas tech school of medicine good or better than UT Southwestern and Baylor or is it worse? If I go to texas tech school of med does that jepordize my residency opportunities because the med school is ranked low and would that ruin my job chances?</p>

<p>Also in undergrad we get BS, and in med school we get MD. But when do I get MS? Do I need an MS? What do I need MS for?</p>

<p>What is a doctors path?
4 years undergrad, 4 years med school, 4-7 years residency, 2 years specialization (what degree is that) and the a job? What is a fellowship?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>No it does not matter what med school you go to. Even the worst med schools have 99% of their graduates finding a job.</p>

<p>4 years hs 4 years med school 3 years residency and you can either practice family medicine or specialize.</p>

<p>Also, an MS is a master of science. Don’t get one if you’re going to apply for an MD, it will be a waste of time.</p>

<p>And no, Texas tech is not better if you are concerned with research. You will have plenty of research opportunities at all three though.</p>
