Education:

Must complete a bachelor’s degree and may major in a field as long as required classes for medical school are completed.

Reflection:

I wouldn’t like to become a thoracic surgeon for the reason being that the persons like is in your hands and what if you make a mistake because you are too nervous, I wouldn’t mind becoming a cardiologist because there isn’t any surgery involved.
