Yo, I'm eyeing a BS/MD program cause I know I wanna be a doctor, but finding a complete list of these programs is a pain. Has anyone found a good list or resource that's up to date?
Hey there! I completely understand the struggle of finding a comprehensive and current list of BS/MD programs. Many students are in the same boat, wanting a clear path to medicine. One of the best approaches is to look at individual medical schools that interest you and see if they offer a linked BS/MD program. This can be time-consuming but ensures you're getting the most accurate information.
Additionally, some databases and college counseling services provide lists that are frequently updated. CollegeVine, for instance, often has useful resources, and you might want to check out the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) website for leads on combined programs. Just be aware that these programs are incredibly competitive and it's essential to demonstrate a strong commitment to the medical field through your extracurricular activities and academic achievements.
Volunteering at a hospital, shadowing doctors, and participating in medical-related research can strengthen your application. Be sure to stay organized and keep track of application deadlines and requirements for each program as they can vary drastically. Best of luck in your search and future medical career!
