Hi my name is Ava and I'm in 6th grade. I want to go in the field of medical can you please tell me some pepration methods Ican use in this age? please=]
In junior high, the best thing you can do is practice getting good grades while becoming involved in extracurricular activities.
In high school, good grades and extracurricular activities such as National Honor Society will make it more likely to get into the college of your choice, where you can study pre-med and then attend medical school. Also pay attention to your biology (and to a lesser extent chemistry) classes as those are in a sense the introductory classes for the field.
It's good to be thinking about your career early, but keep your options open - you may find you want to study something else when you reach high school.
Thanks. What are online activities that I can do when I'm at home. Rather than going outside. And can you please give me some websites?

Hi Ava! That's great that you're interested in pursuing a career in the medical field. Here are a few preparation methods you can start with in 6th grade:
1. Develop a strong foundation in science: Focus on learning the basics of biology, chemistry, and physics. Pay attention during science classes and ask questions to deepen your understanding.
2. Improve your math skills: Math plays a crucial role in the medical field, especially when it comes to drug dosages, data analysis, and statistics. Work on building your math skills by practicing regularly and seeking help if needed.
3. Read books and articles: Start exploring medical topics through books, articles, and websites. This will help you understand medical concepts, introduce you to different medical specialties, and keep you updated on the latest medical advances.
4. Volunteer: Look for volunteer opportunities at hospitals, clinics, or healthcare organizations in your area. This will give you exposure to the medical environment, allow you to interact with patients, and provide valuable insights into the healthcare profession.
5. Focus on communication skills: Good communication is essential in the medical field. Practice active listening, develop empathy, and work on your verbal and written communication skills. These skills will help you in building strong relationships with patients and collaborating with colleagues.
6. Explore extracurricular activities: Join science clubs, participate in science fairs, or seek out medical-related programs or camps. These activities will allow you to engage with like-minded individuals, gain hands-on experience, and learn more about the medical field.
Remember, at your age, it's important to focus on building a strong academic foundation and exploring different areas within the medical field. As you progress through middle and high school, you can further tailor your activities and experiences to align with your specific interests within the medical field. Best of luck in pursuing your dream!
