Careers & next stepsPositive

I am interested in healthcare specially in hopes of becoming a doctor. First, chemistry is a requirement to apply to med school, so obviously it fulfills a requirement. However I think importantly chemistry will help me do better on the MCAT, aswell it will - hopefully - help me with extracurricular such as research. As I will have an advantage when applying to research positions as I will be more knowledgeable and thus more useful to researchers.
