I want to be a doctor. All help needed.(You don't need to know any medical stuff to help)?

Question

I am 100% sure I want to be a doctor. In fact, I am enrolled in a AHP (Academy of Health Professions) for all four years in highschool.

I want to specialize in something. What kind of things can you specialize in though?

I know a few but would like to have a wider variety.

Answer 1

Psychiatry, Cardiology, General Practice, Pediatrics, Genetics, Neurology, etc.

Answer 2

fact: very few people who enter med school with a specialty in mind come out and do that (because during their 3rd and 4th year alot of them a) learned to like something else, b) learned they were bad in that area and probably would open themselves to lawsuits if they practiced that)

Example: my wife wanted to be a radiologist when she got into medical school during her 3rd year rotations, she found out she was pretty bad at reading x-rays and such. So she went into plastic surgery.

I was actually one of the very few people in my graduating class to get the specialties i wanted, ophthalmology and pathology. of course i was top of my class (ophthalmology is one of the hardest to get into on the first try).  

Answer 3

You shouldn't worry about what you want to specialize in right now because once you are in medical school and do your rotations the last years you are exposed to every field and you will better be able to make a decision.
