OB-GYN career path
Answered

Hello, I have wanted to pursue a career as an OB-GYN, but there is no exact class or major for this job. So can you explain exactly what I need to do to become an OB-GYN.

hey there! to become an ob/gyn, you have to first get a bachelor's degree: this can be from a 4 year university or you can transfer from community college. people typically get a degree in pre-med, biological sciences or something similar, but you can major in anything as long as you complete the basic medical pre-requisite courses required to apply to med school. you then apply to med school, and after the 4 years you get your MD degree and begin your OB/GYN residency as a doctor! hope this helps :)
