I am now 18 years old. I want to study in Canada. My parents immigrated, and I want to be a doctor in the future. What major should a university choose?

Unlike medical schools in China, you generally have to have at least one bachelor's degree to apply for medical schools in Canada and the United States. In Canada, the admission requirements of any medical school are more difficult than those of other majors. Medical schools in Canada, especially those in Ontario, are the most difficult to get into in the world. Your first bachelor's degree must be good (GPA must be at least 3.7, that is, at least A-), and you have completed university courses such as biology, chemistry, physics and humanities. The course load of undergraduates is five courses/semester for at least two years, which means that undergraduates with too little course load are generally not eligible to apply for medical school! ! Achievement is only one aspect. Extracurricular hobbies and long-term volunteer experience are very important, which have high requirements for the applicant's social experience, cultural language and personality. The last stage of the interview is the hardest for me! ! Oh, you must pass the special entrance examination of MCAT medical college with high scores.

Medical college is usually a four-year program, and after four years of primary license study, it begins to practice as a resident. The salary during this internship is very low (about 40 thousand/year), which is also a maddening period. If you just want to be a family health care doctor, you can practice-stay in hospital for 2-3 years. If you want to be a specialist, you must practice-stay in hospital for at least 5 years, and the internship period must be better than the previous medical license, among which neurosurgery and plastic surgery must practice-stay in hospital for 8 years. So it is not difficult for you to understand why the process of becoming a doctor is a long process of spirit, body and perseverance. Compared with China, being a doctor in North America is much stricter, but because of this, the income of doctors, especially their social status, is very high.
