My question is what science classes do medical doctors use the most and why. Because I want to know what classes make the most impact after graduation in order to understand how professionals incorporate classes into their jobs/lives. I plan to compare undergrad classes between colleges for pre-medicine and I want to look at the medical remodel in the 1970’s. One of the sources I want to look at is medical student blogs.

I want to talk about what influences you to make a decision on what education path you want to follow. To do that I am going to talk about what influenced me to become a science nerd.

I didn’t always love science. In grade school I thought it was one of the harder subjects to grasp. However, I realize now that was probably due to the fact that in grade school and some of high school science was all about memorizing and nothing else. I never learned or understood the significance of what I was memorizing. (Read the rest of this story.)
