I'm a High School senior, I want to go into the medical field but don't know what major to take, suggestions?

I am currently a high school senior. I have been accepted to many universities, including the school of my choice, Cal State Fullerton. I really want to go into the medical field, but I am confused on what major I should take. One of my choices is becoming a physician's assistant but I need to know what it takes to become one. I have been doing all kinds of research, but I have not decided on a major or the actual career that I want to get. I have taught of major in Health Science because it is one of the majors offered in the university that I am going to, but I need more feedback on what kind of things I can do with this major. I am very confused and would like some feedback on these topics!

most colleges probably have a specific course of instruction for pre-med
Reply:Sounds like you are doing pretty well in school, my question is why would you want to be a physicians assistant, why not be the physician???? Don't sell yourself short, shoot as high as you can because if it's what you want, you CAN do it.


You have to decide on which direction to take, it you decide to go for it and become a doctor, then you have lots of time to decide an area of speciality.


I wish you luck, maybe you are the one who will put a stop to cancer!
Reply:Call Cal State's admissions office, or call their Health Science department, or browse around their website. It's their job to make you want to go there and to recruit you for their major, so they'll have lots of information on what you can do with certain majors, as well as what Cal State grads in particular go on to do.
