Question

In my Honors Anatomy Class (taking next year) we have to write a 8+ page essay on a feild in medicine during the summer before we even start the class, basically I am suppose to pick a specialty that really appeals to me and write a essay on the subject. I myself either want to become an accomplished Neurosurgeon of Surgocal Oncologist I will be the first person in my family to got to an American College. I know I've got a long time till med school since I'm only a junior in high school but which should I choose for the paper, I know how important these two are and there actually specialty's I want to do, either Neurosurgery or Surgical Oncology but which would you chose if you had a 300 point essay on this subject?

Answer 1

You have plenty of time to decide what your specialty will be.  I would choose one of them, which ever you are leaning towards.  And write it on that.  You will see if you still want to keep that as an option.  Many doctors don't know what their specialty will be until they are in or right before med school.  You have plenty of time.  Just choose one and I am sure you can research the other for another paper either in high school or while getting your undergraduate out of the way.  Or you could do it for your own personal reasons!

Good luck on your paper!
