<p>I'm currently a high school senior and I was determining which major would be more appropriate for me. I was thinking of majoring MIMG (Microbio, immunology, and Molecular genetics) or Physiological Science. I know for sure that I want to be a medical doctor, but when I mentioned this to my parents they told me to take it step by step. They mean to be a nurse first and work my way up to a doctor. I am not really familiar with the process in becoming a medical doctor unfortunately. Can you please help me understand which is a better route to take. THANKS! :)</p>
<p>nursing is completely separate. you dont work your way up.</p>
<p>nurses have a different track soooo if you decide to be premed and not a doctor, you can become say a physicians assistant or something of that sort. Phy Sci is very premed based(as in anatomy and human biology) and will help you later on in med school, but if you like MIMG-go for it!!! you’ll prob take a physci class sometime within your undergrad life if youre premed anyway.</p>
<p>also, you can be any major and be premed if you take (varies by med school)
