Take the right classes in high school. While you are in high school, make sure to focus on getting a strong science
background. This will set you up for success in your science classes in college. Make sure to take biology, physiology,
anatomy, and chemistry, if your school offers them.

Although not as necessary as your science background, it may help to have a strong background in math, with focus
on geometry and algebra. This will help you understand how the half life of drugs and the growth patterns of bacteria
are determined.[1]

Get experience early. While still in high school, look for opportunities outside of school to work, volunteer, or
shadow a doctor, or a pulmonologist if possible. This gives you some experience and helps you to determine if you
are truly interested in the profession. Through this, you can also meet people who may potentially become mentors
or who will provide letters of recommendation for your pre-medical undergraduate work.

A good place to find opportunities is your high school guidance counselor. Their job is to help you find
opportunities and they may have connections in the community you don't.
The Association of American Medical Colleges also compiles a list of internships for high school students.
These internship will help you learn more about the profession, obtain positive experiences, and develop
relationships that may help through medical school. [2]

Take standardized exams. Before you apply from your undergraduate degree, you will need to take the ACT or SAT
examinations.[3] Most colleges and universities accept either the ACT or the SAT, but check where you tend to apply to
make sure. You may want to take both and submit your better scores. Because the tests are different, many students find
that they do better on one test compared to the other.

You can take these tests as early as your sophomore year and as late as the first semester of your senior. It may be
smart to take the exam early so you have time to improve your scores if you don't do as well as you want the first
time. You can also take them as many times as you want.
The test results are often available online within six weeks of taking the test. The examining agency will send the
score directly to the schools you request because you arent able to send the scores yourself.

Apply to college early. Make sure you apply to college in time for early application and early decision. Most of the time,
the deadline for this kind of admission is in November or very early December. Check the college or university you want to
apply to for the date their application will be available and when their application deadlines are. You also need to make sure
you apply for the pre-med program at the school of your choice, which will prepare you for medical school later.

Early decision and early application are different ways of applying. Early decision means that, if you are accepted,
you make a binding agreement with that college to accept their offer. Early application means that you will hear about
your acceptance or rejection early but still have until May 1st to make that binding agreement for attendance in the
fall.
Because pre-med undergraduate programs fill up early and fast, its important to use the early application system
and make your decision as soon as you can.[4]

Try the Common Application. More than 600 colleges and universities now accept the Common Application.[5] This is one
application available online which is then forwarded to all the schools that you want. This can save you time and money if
you are applying to numerous programs.

Other colleges and universities have their own application system. For these, the applications are available and also
submitted for early application through their websites. If you are unsure, call the office of admissions of the schools
you choose to get this information.

Take the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). Starting around your junior to senior year of your pre-med program,
you need start studying for and take the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT).[6] This is an examination which medical
schools consider for admission that is a standardized, multiple choice test. It evaluates your problems solving, critical
thinking skills ,and medical knowledge base.[7] The average MCAT score for those accepted into medical school in 2013
was 30.[8]

Almost all medical schools in the United States and most in Canada require the MCAT for admission. The test results
cannot be more than 3 years old, so make sure you plan on going to medical school soon after you take it.

Apply to medical school. Just like when you applied to your undergraduate degree, you need to prepare early for
medical school. You also need to apply to numerous institutions, because medical school is competitive and hard to
get in to. Out of the 48,000 applicants to medical school in 2013, only a little over 20,000 got in. That's just 41% of
applicants.[9]

Get placed in a residency program. During your fourth year in medical school, you will go through a rigorous research,
application, and interview process in order to be matched with a residency program in a hospital somewhere in the US. You
will then wait for Match Day, which is the third Friday in March each year. This is the date when you will be informed about
whether you were matched with the residency program of you choice or if you were rejected.

Once you graduate from medical school, you will go into the residency program you were accepted into in the field of
Internal Medicine with a focus in pulmonology, which is a subspecialty of Internal Medicine.[12][13]
