I want to be a medical researcher but I don't know where to start?

I love learning about the human body, i think its so fascinating...i really want to work in medical research, specifically genetic links to disease/cancer research...do you think it would be better to study biomedical science or study medicine, then do a research PhD?


thank u for ur help :)

Me too! I live in Australia and i think i'm going to do a bioscience degree at uni, then go on to study medicine, and maybe work as a lab researcher. Or, alternatively, I'd like to work as part of a team, perhaps diagnosing people, running tests, etc.
Reply:For what you want, it sounds like biochemistry is the place to start. That will give you the foundation--then in graduate sschool you'll be able to move into whatevery specialized area is appropriate to your interests as they develop. Good luck :)

You will love it even more when you know that you had a hand in creating this body, it is wonderful and is beyond anything describable through words which unfortunately is our only armoury!





Genertics is a very definitive field and will fit you handsomely from what i can read between the lines. If you have the necessary qualifications and subjects for medicine do the necessary qualifying tests and get into Biotechnology for a start. This is offered as a three year study program and makes you ready to make choices in the field of research. You should make the computer search engine and the think tank through the web your creative self and let it roam and search the variants for you to make the necessary choices.





Make at least five choices and rate them on how you and the choice of the subject to be researched would gel or fit in. If it is tailor made exact and you are absolutel rearing to go then that is your subject...rate this 9. When all five are rated narrow it down to two scanning the finer print and the minute details which find a mention therein.





This done you should look for universities and colleges. The criteria should be within 5km of your home and everything at a distance which does not discomfit but fits in with your ability to work congenially and profitably.





Go for it


Take care and may the Lord be with you in this exercise
