how to make a carrer in research in medical field?

We Answered:

Those destined for medical research typically started doing research by the time they were in their early teens. It is a way of looking at things, a way of "living in the world," for a true researcher. Then you need an MD plus PhD, or follow the bachelors-masters-doctorate path. You need to do original research either way.

If you had all your science labs and exceptionally good lab technique through university, you might be taken on as some researcher's assistant, but they typically hire their research assistants through their students. You obviously were not selected for research by any of your university professors and you do not have a graduate degree. If you are sure you really want this and can do this, then you have to go back to school for another 5 - 10 years (maybe more).

Medical Research work experience in Medway, Kent, England?

We Answered:

Your best bet is to pick organisations you might be interested in doing work experience with (assuming you mean unpaid work experience!), find out a bit about them and write them a letter enquiring about work experience possibilities. Most organisations are used to getting such requests and will deal with yours according to their own policies on these things.

Of course, for unpaid work experience (not for employment!) it can also help to know people who work there already, as they might be able to help putting you in touch with the right people.

I am a scientist by profession...it depends on what type of research you are interested in...I have B.S. in Chem & Bio with a minor in biochem. I then got a MS in Chem. I work in pharmaceutical R&D and it pays plenty (but remember pay scale differs according to standard of living!)..

Bonnie Said:

If you study B Medicine/B Surgery can it lead to a career in medical research?

We Answered:

You qualify as a medical doctor and you can, of course, decide to take the path of an academic and be involved in research full-time. Even as a practising doctor, many do concurrent medical research. As a doctor, there are many doors that are open to you. Some work as consultants for tv programmes, advisors for the Olympics teams, etc. Also, within medicine itself, the specialities are vast.
