paths in front of you. Go to college, take the  MCAT, and hopefully get into medical school,  

擺在你面前的路。上大學，考MCAT，希望能考上醫學院。

or go the BS/MD route, shortening your  training and streamlining the process.  

或者走BS/MD路線，縮短你的培訓時間，簡化流程。

Should you go BS/MD or the traditional  path? I'll help you decide.

你應該走BS/MD還是傳統的道路？我幫你決定。

Dr. Jubbal, MedSchoolInsiders.com.

朱波醫生，醫派內參網。

It's common knowledge that the path to becoming  a doctor is one with countless hoops to jump  

眾所周知，成為醫生的道路上，要跳無數個圈套

through. To streamline the journey, a number of  medical schools now offer early admission pathways  

通過。為了簡化旅程，現在有不少醫學院提供了提前錄取的途徑。

through combined bachelor and medicine degree  programs — that's either a BS or BA combined  

通過學士和醫學相結合的學位課程--也就是學士或學士相結合的課程

with an MD or DO through a single acceptance.  For many students and their concerned parents,  

通過一次錄取，獲得醫學博士或醫學博士學位。 對於很多學生和他們關心的家長來說。

these programs are a relief from the uncertainty  of the traditional drawn out process.

這些方案是對傳統的漫長過程中的不確定性的一種解脫。

The most commonly talked about benefit  is the fact that many combined degree  

最常說的好處是，很多綜合學位

programs accelerate the process. Traditionally,  earning your bachelor's degree takes 4 years,  

計劃加速了這一過程。傳統上，獲得學士學位需要4年時間。

and medical school is another 4 as well, for  a total of 8. A large number of BS/MD programs  

大量的學士/碩士課程都是在大學裡開設的，而醫學院也是4個，總共8個。

stick to the 8 year timeline, but many truncate it  to 7, and a couple even to 6, with the shortening  

堅持8年的時間線，但很多人把它截斷為7年，有幾個甚至截斷為6年，隨著時間的縮短

primarily coming from the bachelor degree portion.  However, note that some of these programs require  

主要來自於學士學位部分。 但要注意的是，其中有些項目需要

taking summer courses in order to cram an  undergraduate education into 3 or fewer years,  

為了在3年或更短的時間內完成大學教育而參加暑期課程；

which many find worthwhile considering the  tuition savings and fewer years spent in school.

考慮到節省的學費和較少的上學年限，很多人覺得值得。

Second, there's no medical  school application process,  

第二，沒有醫學院的申請流程。

which is a point many celebrate. Transitioning  from undergraduate university to medical school  

這是很多人慶幸的一點。從大學本科到醫學院的過渡階段

is a painless process, so long as you  meet a minimum GPA requirement, which is  

是一個不痛不癢的過程，只要你達到最低的GPA要求，也就是

lower than what you'd be aiming for if you were  applying to medical school the traditional way.

低於你的目標，如果你申請醫學院的傳統方式。

Not only does that mean you entirely avoid  the time intensive and stressful process of  

這不僅意味著你完全避免了耗時耗力的過程，而且也避免了

applying to medical school, but you'll also save  thousands of dollars, as the application process  

申請醫學院，但你也將節省數千美元，因為申請過程中

is not cheap. Note, however, that if you are in  financial need, you may qualify for the AAMC FAP,  

是不便宜的。但請注意，如果您有經濟需求，您可能符合AAMC FAP的條件。

or fee assistance program, to cover  some of these out of pocket expenses.

或收費援助計劃，以支付其中一些自費的費用。

Third, the dreaded MCAT. Many BS/MD programs  either do not require you to take the MCAT  

第三，可怕的MCAT。許多BS/MD項目要麼不要求你參加MCAT

at all to continue on to medical school, or  they have a score cutoff that's lower than  

根本無法繼續上醫學院，或者他們的分數截止點低於

their general matriculant. Again,  you're saving big on time, money,  

其一般預科生。同樣，你在時間上、金錢上都有很大的節省。

and stress related to preparing for such an  important test. Most students take between  

和壓力相關的準備這樣一個重要的考試。大多數學生都會參加

3 and 6 months to study for the MCAT,  spend hundreds to thousands of dollars,  

3個月和6個月學習MCAT，花幾百到幾千塊錢。

and you'll be hard pressed to find someone  who didn't find the process highly stressful.

而你很難找到一個不覺得過程壓力大的人。

And last, BS/MD programs lift  a weight off your shoulders.  

最後，BS/MD項目為你解除了肩上的重擔。

While your premed colleagues going the  traditional route are stressing about  

當你那些走傳統路線的醫學預科同事們都在強調

trying to achieve straight A's or strategizing  on their extracurriculars and research time,  

試圖取得全A的成績，或者在課外活動和研究時間上制定策略。

you'll have a streamlined and lower stress  experience. Sure, you'll still have to take the  

你會有一個精簡的、壓力較小的體驗。當然，你還是要參加

standard medical school prerequisite courses, such  as biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry,  

標準的醫學院先修課程，如生物、普通化學、有機化學；

physics, and the like, but you won't have to take  several additional classes to fulfill a specific  

物理學等，但你不必再多上幾門課，以滿足特定的

major's requirements. And again, you don't have to  apply to medical school with a near perfect GPA,  

專業的要求。再說一遍，你不一定要用接近完美的GPA來申請醫學院。

as long as you meet your program's  cutoffs, which is often around 3.5.

只要你符合你的計劃的截止日期，通常是3.5左右。

While the benefits are easy to appreciate,  they're more short term focused. When you  

雖然好處很容易體會，但更多的是短期關注。當你

zoom out and take a step back, you'll begin to  notice some of the more substantial drawbacks of  

放大並後退一步，你就會開始注意到一些更實質性的缺點。

BS/MD programs that make them a less optimal  choice for many aspiring future physicians.

BS/MD課程，使其成為許多有志於未來醫生的最佳選擇。

Perhaps the most significant and noteworthy  drawback to BS/MD programs is the fact that  

也許，BS/MD項目最顯著和最值得注意的缺點就是

it requires students to commit to a lifelong  career before having adequate exposure and  

它要求學生在有足夠的接觸機會之前就致力於終身的事業，並要求學生在有足夠的接觸機會之前就致力於終身的事業。

maturity to realistically make a well reasoned  decision. Think about it — at 16, 17, or 18,

with limited exposure to various career  paths, they're fully committing to one

that's incredibly arduous, challenging,  and difficult to escape once you're in it.

那是不可思議的艱辛、挑戰，一旦你身處其中，就很難逃脫。

I'll remind you that medicine is certainly  not for everyone, as doctors have some of
