Does Itt Tech count for medical school or internship?

well I am currently in high school and know i want to become a pediatrician. I did some research and i realized i need 4-years of college, 4-years of medical school, and 3-years of internship. i decided that i am going to tech next year and i just wanted to know if that is going to count for anything like if i go to tech can that count for medical school or the internship? Or can it at least reduce some years from medical school or the internship?

With a question like that, you will never become a doctor.. You have to go to a 4 year college.. Then you take the MCATs and if you do good a med. school might accept you.. Then you have to find a hospital to work at, most likely the med. school hospital at whatever med school you attend.. ITT Tech will not get you anything. No one that wants to be a doctor goes to ITT Tech. ITT Tech is for people that couldn't make it in college.
Reply:ITT campuses often do not offer degrees, much less 4-year degrees. Most of them only offer certification in specific areas, such as computer repair, which will not transfer to a 4-year college. I think you might want to reconsider going there if you plan on going to medical school.
Reply:I really doubt it. Do you really think what you would learn at a tech school would better prepare you for med school? I would get a job working as a volunteer in a hospital, clinic or take courseware that directly maps to medical school. Courses like biology, chemistry, sociology, psychology and such.
Reply:Most tech schools will only offer either Associate Degrees or certificates. Most (if not all) Medical schools won't consider tech schools as a four year university especially if it's ITT Tech which focus heavily on technology, business, and criminal justice, not medicine.
