Hey all i'm jess and i'm graduating in the spring of '10, I'm from North Dakota and i want to be a trauma surgeon or physician. As for medical school I really truly have no idea.

hey
I've always planned on going into the medical field. I volunteer at a hospital now and talk to the people in hospice and ECF. i really love it and i can't wait to see more of the field when i go to this forum.

Hey im a sophmore and I really want to be a pediatrician. Im super excited about this forum so it can open my eyes to other fields of medicine. One thing I know is I want to do something in the medical field.

My dream colleges are Stanford, Macalester, and Bryn Mawr. Med school hasn't planned itself out yet for me (maybe Columbia?), though I'm thinking I'll study internal medicine, with a specialty in infectious diseases. In college, I will study another language, probably Arabic. As soon as I complete my residency and get my license, I'm leaving the country to go where I'm needed, probably Africa.

Hey, I'm Caity. I won't be graduating highschool until 2010, but I know that I really want to go to Dartmouth, more than anything. I'm open to almost anything, but am most facinated by neo-natal, anesthesia, and neurology.

Wow Matt, I want to be a pediatric oncologist too. I'm not sure where i want to go to college though. I've been interested in pediatric oncology ever since I saw a little girl at the eye doctor that had cancer, I knew right then I wanted to help kids with cancer.

Orthopedic surgeon all the way!

hey guys!
i'm merril && i honestly dont know where i'm going yet...but i'd love to go to med school in chicago and specialize eventually in sports medicine or pediatrics specializing more in neonates...i know, sad job but i think it would be amazingly rewarding..

but for sports medicine, my DREAMMM JOBB would be to work as a doctor at the deerfield athletico where the chicago bulls train! ah! that would be SO cool!

Hey I'm Karrah
I really wanna work in pediatrics (I Love kids!!!) but I don't know what kind yet. I've also thought of neonatology, but I still wanna learn more about more fields b4 I decide. I REALLY wanna be a doctor though. I love learning about the human body!

I have been going back and forth between heart surgeon and a pediatric oncologist. Right now I am more interested in pediatric oncologist. I have time to decide. I graduate in the spring of 2010. I want to go to college somewhere down south but I am not totally sure yet.
Matt Rollins: We want to be the same kind of doctor. What makes you want to become a pediatric oncologist? Which session are you going to?

KaitlynVictoria: I have a actually been a cancer patient at UNC-Chapel Hill and my oncologist was absolutely amazing. I was diagnosed when I was 12 and took treatments for 6 months. Spending that much time in the hospital would turn most people away but i realized i wanted to help the people who were affected by cancer.
Ironically I ahve always been a Duke fan but i decided i want to go to med school at chapel hill.

Matt Rollins: I am so sorry, that must be hard to go through. But that is great that you want to work with oncology after everything you went through. I don't want to pry but what kind of cancer do/did you have? Are you in remission? When I tell someone that I want to be a pediatric oncologist they look and me and say "why? that is going to be so hard" but I think the job will be sad at times but also very rewarding. Someone has to do it, you know? I love children and and helping people so I think it is the right fit for me. I see you live in north carolina .. you are so lucky .. i want to live down south so bad. I have a beach house in myrtle beach, sc and i love it there. I love the ocean, the weather, and just how beautiful the south is. Do you like living down south? How old are you? Do you have an email address because it might be easier to talk through email. ttyl.

It'sfine if you ask about it. I had Burkitt's Lymphoma and I have been in remission since February of 2005. I am fifteen years old and have lived in the small town of Asheboro for all of my life. The weather down here is rather mild all year round. My e-mail is dukedude83@yahoo.com. Feel free to e-mail me anytime.

Matt Rollins: It is good that you are in remission. My email address is in my personal profile is you ever want to email me too.

Ive been researching alot of medical careers lately and i found out what i truly wanted to be. im thinking of being a neuropsychiatrist. or something to do with neurology cause i think the brain and how the mind works is awesome!

Hey Justine, I ve also researched some medical careers and found that being a Medical Treatment Specialist in Neurology (Neurologist) would be great, but not 100% sure yet like u.

~Kevin Chicago Session 1~

I want to join the Navy Medical Corps, as an FST (forward surgical team) surgeon. I'd get free med school from the Navy for it, and I don't mind (hopefully) saving a few Marines in the process

I would really LOVE to go to school in the East Coast or maybe even in Europe!
As for careers, I'm considering many paths, but surgery and medical diagnostics are up there.

I really want to be a neonatal nurse. I currently volunteer at a hospital in geriactrics as well as the pregnancy and birth center and i love it.
