Hey
I want to
ask that how do a person become a doctor after graduating from high school with
90% marks in bio phy chem and maths.?
I have
heard that we have to study biosciences for 4 years in university. Can you tell
me the correct procedure and what grades do I need further?
How much
time is it going to take?
If some one
is a docr from another country like Pakistan so can he work over here
as a doctor? How?

There?s no ?correct procedure? to becoming a doctor. You actually don?t HAVE to study biology or even science at UofT. It?s true that a lot of people whose goal is to be a doctor do choose degrees such as human biology, biochemistry, immunology, pharmacology, and so on (or so I hear, anyway). You may be interested in one of these programs. According to their admissions page though, they accept students from many different backgrounds, from social sciences (such as sociology and political sciences) to physical sciences (such as physics) and everything in between. So my advice to you, if you end up going to UofT (or anywhere else really), is: don’t take courses that you think will? help you get into med school. Instead,to use your undergraduate degree to take some courses and explore some fields of study that you?re genuinely interested in! If, by the end of your 3rd year, you still want to go into medicine, then you can apply then ? they only accept people who?ve taken a minimum of 3 years of an undergraduate degree anyway.? In fact, a degree in a discipline other than biology could really help you stand out amongst the other cookie-cutter applicants.
The only requirements that med school imposes on you are listed in their FAQ:
?Applicants are required to complete at least two full-year courses or four half-courses in Life Sciences, and at least one full-year course or two half-courses in Humanities or Social Sciences or Languages. It is recommended, although not required, that applicants complete a university-level course in Statistics, and two courses that require expository writing.?
They also list that applicants should have a minimum 3.6 GPA, so keep that in mind.
Anyway, high school marks aren?t really representative of how well someone will do in University. I?ve seen people with high grades in high school do really poorly in their first year of university, and I?ve seen people with 70s in high school do really well. It really depends on the work you?re willing to put in.
As for how much time being a doctor takes ? it may sound clich?, but becoming a doctor really requires patience, dedication, and a lot of hard work. Think about it. You?re going to save lives. There?s no easy way out and there’s no shortcut. So please, be patient and try not to rush your undergrad degree.
As for your last question, friend of aska found an article that says prospects of professionals from other countries working in Canada may be getting better. Hope that’s good news to you.
