AVOE-II Unit 1 Task 7: Oral Interpretation Medical Education in the U.S. Men and women in the United States who want to become doctors attend four years of college or university. They usually study science intensively. They study biology, chemistry and other sciences. If they do not, they may have to return to college for more education in science before trying to enter medical school. Some students work for a year or two in a medical research job before they try to seek a place in a medical college.

There are 125 medical colleges in the United States. More than 66,000 students are attending medical college. It is difficult to gain entrance to them. Those who do the best in their studies have a greater chance of entering medical school. Each students must pass a national examination to enter medical school. Those who get the top scores have the best chance of being accepted. Most people who want to study medicine seek to enter as many as ten medical school. This increases their chances of being accepted by one.

Last year, about 35,00 students applied to medical schools in the United states. About 17,000 were accepted. A medical education is very costly. It costs as much as 30,000 dollars for each year. After entering medical school, students spend the next four years studying only medical sciences. The first two years of medical school are spent mainly in class. The students learn about the body and all its systems. They learn about chemistry and medicines. And they begin studying diseases and how to recognize and treat them. Many students say that the first year of medical school is the most difficult.

They must remember a great deal of information. For example, many schools require that students remember the names of every bone in the body. By the third year of medical school, students are ready to use their knowledge to begin helping sick people in a hospital. These students work under the guidance of experienced doctors. Students observe the treatment of patients. They also examine patients and advise treatment. As the students watch and learn, they think about the kind of medicine they would like to practice when they become doctors.

Do they want to care for children? Or do they want to care for pregnant women and assist at the birth of babies? Do they want to treat patients with broken bones? Or do they want to operate on the body or the brain? During the fourth year of medical school, students begin seeking to enter a medical training program in a hospital. This training program is called a medical residency. Medical school graduates face strong competition to gain a resident position at the hospitals they want most. Hospitals want the top medical school graduates.
