What would be the best introduction to the medical field without the hard schooling and testing?

We Answered:

The amount of dedication required to become a physician is a LOT. Taking baby steps isn't very realistic. Becoming a doctor takes YEARS. Becoming a nurse with your background is going to take long enough.

I'd really advise you to figure out which path you want to go first. Nursing or doctor? You can apply to both and make a real decision if you get more than one to accept you.

If you don't know what kind of doctor you want to be, you've got 4 years of med school to figure that out.

If you just want an idea of what the medical field is like, I'd volunteer at a hospital. It's not perfect, but it will give you some idea as to what the different professions do.

Allan Said:

what medical science discipline would be best suited for someone who wants to conduct research on meditation?

We Answered:

I believe that meditation is considered to be "alternative medicine", so it is not directly related to any current disciplines.
If I were you, I would become a primary care M.D. or D.O., and then take additional specialized training at places such as the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind-Body Medicine at Harvard University.

I think you will find the source link I posted below as interesting reading.

In which stream career would be best, in engineering or in medical stream?

Engineering stream is dependent on changes in global economy, whereas medical stream is independent of this and the demand for medical professions is growing day by day. Please select medical stream.
