I also want to get a PhD in communication sciences so I can do some expert witness work. And im bad at math too. I dont really care about the money I would make. Its more to have a wealth of expertise and to change society. Getting into a law school thereafter is not so difficult.
Also getting living wage job with a MD is far easier than with a law degree most all of the time. Having a MD and then becoming a lawyer opens a lot of possibilities in law. I do know a few who have done both. Students wishing to pursue additional course work in the biological sciences should consider genetics, embryology, cell biology, or comparative anatomy.
Students interested in advanced courses are advised to consider biochemistry or physical chemistry. Organic chemistry preparation should be woven seamlessly with basic principles of biochemistry especially protein structure and function. Ordinarily, this requirement is accomplished most readily by a year-long course in physics. Lengthy laboratory components of the required science requirement courses are not necessarily time well and efficiently spent.
Although the calculus of derivatives and integration represents important concepts for the precise, quantifiable understanding of dynamic physiological processes and systems, a full year of calculus focusing on the derivation of biologically low-relevance theorems is less important than mastery of more relevant algebraic and trigonometric quantitative skills.
Therefore, effective courses in science and nonscience disciplines should focus on analytical and writing skills. Mastery of a foreign language, although not required, is a valuable skill that expands intellectual and cultural horizons and that reinforces preparation for patient care in a multicultural society.
In addition, one year of calculus-based physics in college is required. You would also be expected to take the LSAT for law school, and it would probably be a good idea for you to get more familiarity with the legal field to make sure this is something you actually want to do.
Med schools, after all, want to train doctors, not future lawyers. What I would recommend is to just keep all of these options in the back of your head and worry about undergrad first.
When I look back over the first four years of my program, which were evenly split into two years of medical school and two years of law school, neither sticks out as more treacherous than the other. Both were time consuming, intellectually demanding, and wonderful.
That being said, the year I spent as a third-year medical student working full time on the wards and going to law school at night is a period in my life I never wish to relive. So which program do I like better? What I really enjoyed about law school was all the time spent thinking. There is a lot of media coverage these days about the amount of time physicians spend doing paperwork, and this extends to medical students.
As a third-year medical student, a significant amount of my time was spent writing medical record notes that would never meet a pair of eyes other than mine. In law school, there was nothing like that. Office hours were a chance to hypothesize, conjecture, and theorize with professors. Wholeheartedly, yes. I am writing this blog post from the airport as I wrap up a three-week trip up and down the East Coast.
On this trip I have visited eight cities, interviewed with eight residency programs the training doctors do after medical school , attended one wedding, took one of three licensing exams I will take this year, received one phone call from a colleague asking to review the history of Supreme Court rulings on contraception and abortion, and lead one ethics program at a national meeting.
Strong future growth. Over the next 5 years, it is expected there will be 4, job openings for legal professionals. Lawyers are good communicators who cultivate the ability to debate, persuade and pull the levers that control our societies.
Lawyers will often specialise in distinct areas of law, such as corporate and commercial law, litigation, employment, data security and information technology law, intellectual property, employment, family, criminal law just to name a few. When I first came to the campus I was amazed at just how accessible the university was.
There is a real sense of community at the Law School. Matthew , Bachelor of Laws.
