Being a Doctor is a dream for many—but for students who are determined enough to make it a reality, it’s just one step away. In order for an aspirant to be come a doctor, a student would need a 4-year bachelor’s degree and go to medical school after that. It’s a long time but the wait is worth it—but would the expenses be?
The medical field gives a good guarantee to students of the bright path ahead. However, not all aspiring doctors become doctors—that is why there are certain professions in the field even if you don’t push in becoming a doctor.
Yes, not all medical students become doctors, in fact, a lot of those who fall short become nurses abroad or just tackle a different path. But that shouldn’t stop dreamers.
But how much does an individual need to be able to study in the medical school?
Some students, those who are financially capable, send their children to medical schools abroad. It’s better because it’s better for learning, for experience, and for diversity abroad. Some, however, like to keep it low here and have their children enrolled in Philippine medical schools.
