So your child wants to be a doctor together with what's sure to be immense pride.

所以你的孩子想成為一名醫生，這肯定會讓你感到無比驕傲。

情態副詞

Dr. Jubbal medschoolinsiders.com so how hard is it to get into medical school?

Jubbal 醫師 medschoolinsiders.com 進入醫學院到底有多難？

And most importantly, how can you set your child up for success?

最重要的是，你該如何幫助你的孩子成功？

First, let's cover what's involved in applying to medical school.

首先，我們來談談申請醫學院需要準備哪些東西。

Getting into medical school is incredibly difficult.

It's not a simple matter of getting good grades, although that's a key aspect.

這不只是單純拿到好成績，雖然那確實是關鍵。

There are several different components that come together to make a medical school application, a primary application, a secondary application, and

醫學院的申請包含好幾個不同的部分，有初步申請、次級申請，還有

interviews to go to medical school, you need a bachelor's degree and must complete a list of prerequisite courses such as biology, chemistry, and

面試，進入醫學院你需要有學士學位，並且要修完一系列的先修課程，像是生物、化學和

The prerequisites have more overlap with certain majors, such as biological sciences, but

這些先修課程跟某些科系，像是生命科學，比較有重疊，但是

a student can apply to medical school with any college degree so long as the prerequisites are met.

只要先修課程都符合要求，學生可以用任何大學學位來申請醫學院。

We'll cover pre med major options later in this video to apply to medical school.

我們會在今天的影片後面討論申請醫學院的預醫主修選項。

First comes the primary application, which consists of several elements a high gpa, a strong MCAT score, an engaging personal statement, glowing letters of recommendation, and

首先是初步申請，這包含幾個要素：高 GPA、強勁的 MCAT 成績、引人入勝的個人陳述、出色的推薦信，以及

a variety of extracurriculars and work experience.

各式各樣的課外活動和工作經驗。

Applicants only submit one set of application materials to amcas, which stands for the American Medical College Admission Service.

申請者只需向 AMCAS 提交一套申請資料，AMCAS 是美國醫學院招生服務的縮寫。

The service distributes the primary application to every medical school your child wants to apply to.

該服務會將初步申請送到你孩子想申請的每一間醫學院。

If all of this wasn't confusing enough already, AMCAS is the main application service for Most allopathic or MD medical schools in the U.S.

如果這一切還不夠讓人困惑，AMCAS 是美國大多數傳統醫學或 MD 醫學院的主要申請服務。

however, medical schools in Texas use their own application service, the Texas Medical and Dental School Application Service, or tmdsas.

不過，德州的醫學院會使用他們自己的申請服務，也就是德州醫學與牙醫學院申請服務，簡稱 tmdsas。

And if your child is thinking of applying to osteopathic schools to earn a do, they also have their own service called the American association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine Application Service, or AA comas?

如果你的孩子想申請整骨醫學院來取得 DO 學位，他們也有自己的服務，稱為美國整骨醫學院協會申請服務，簡稱 AACOMAS，對吧？

We have additional videos on this channel and guides on the Med School Insiders website that cover these topics in more detail.

我們在這個頻道上有更多影片，也在 Med School Insiders 網站上有指南，更詳細地介紹這些主題。

Find links in the video description Next comes the secondary application.

連結在影片說明中。接下來是次級申請。

Assuming your child meets a school's basic minimum criteria, they are likely to receive a secondary application request two to four weeks after submitting their primary application.

假設你的孩子符合學校的基本最低標準，他們在提交初步申請後的兩到四周內，很可能會收到次級申請的要求。

Medical schools charge a fee of $30 to $200 for each secondary application submission, so it's in their best interest to request them from as many students as possible.

醫學院對每份次級申請的提交收取 30 到 200 美元的費用，所以他們會盡量向更多學生發出申請，這對他們最有利。

Secondaries are widely distributed and aren't necessarily a sign of being selected as a high interest candidate.

次級申請的發送範圍很廣，不一定代表被選為高度關注的候選人。

Generally, secondaries are made up of two to eight essay questions that are unique to each school.

一般來說，次級申請包含兩到八篇論文問題，每間學校的問題都不同。

Unlike the primary application, secondaries are submitted directly to the schools the applicant receives them from.

與初步申請不同，次級申請是直接提交給申請者收到申請的學校。

If your child impresses an admissions committee with their application, they will then receive an interview invitation.

如果你的孩子在申請中給招生委員會留下深刻印象，他們就會收到面試邀請。

Interviews are the final step in the admissions process.

面試是錄取過程的最後一個階段。

Invites could start to arrive as early as August and will continue into the spring of the following year.

邀請最早可能在八月開始寄發，並持續到隔年春天。

Since COVID forced medical schools to create a virtual process for conducting interviews, many schools kept the virtual option or only conduct virtual interviews.

由於 COVID 疫情迫使醫學院採用線上方式進行面試，許多學校保留了線上選項或只進行線上訪談。

If an interview takes place in person and on campus, the travel costs can quickly add up.

如果面試是親自到校進行，旅費會很快累積起來。

We cover the cost of applying to medical school later in this video.

我們將在影片稍後討論申請醫學院的費用。

While virtual interviews are certainly cheaper and save time, the downside is that your child won't get to explore the school campus, meet as many people, or get a feel of whether or not the city is a good fit.

雖然線上訪談確實更便宜且節省時間，但缺點是你的孩子無法參觀校園、認識更多人，或感受這座城市是否適合自己。

This step will be critical as they approach admissions decisions, but

這個階段在接近錄取決定時至關重要，但

by far the most important thing to understand about applying to medical school is the need to apply early.

到目前為止，申請醫學院最重要的一點就是要提早申請。

As soon as applications open, do not follow the technical deadlines outlined by a school, as they are deeply misleading.

一旦申請開放，請不要遵循學校列出的技術截止日期，因為它們具有誤導性。

Admissions committees don't wait until they receive every application before they start to make decisions.

招生委員會不會等到收到所有申請文件後才開始做決定。

They review applications as they receive them on a continuous, rolling basis.

他們會持續以滾動的方式審核收到的申請。

The first students to apply are the first to receive secondary applications, the first to submit their secondaries receive the first interview invitations, and

最早申請的學生會最早收到次級申請，最早提交次級申請的學生會最早收到面試邀請，而

the first applicants to interview receive the first acceptances.

最早面試的申請者會最早收到錄取通知。

這一點我們怎麼強調都不為過。

Applying early is one of the most essential medical school admission strategies.

提早申請是醫學院錄取策略中最重要的一點。

Amcas typically opens during the first week of May for the following year's medical school class.

AMCAS 通常在五月的 first week 開放，以招收下一年的醫學院學生。

For example, if you're if your child wants to begin medical school in the fall of 2026, they'll need to start the application process in the spring of 2025.

舉例來說，如果你的孩子想在 2026 年秋季開始唸醫學院，他們需要在 2025 年春季開始申請流程。

But while the applications open in May, most students will start working on their personal statement and other components of their application many months in advance, often as soon as January or February.

但是，雖然申請在五月開放，大多數學生會在數個月前就開始準備他們的個人陳述和其他申請文件，通常早在十二月或一月。

Applicants have about a month to prepare the application before submissions open at the end of May or early June.

申請者大約有一個月的時間準備申請，直到五月底或六月初開放提交。

Secondary applications will arrive throughout the summer.

次級申請會在整個夏天陸續寄達。

Assuming your child stays on top of submitting them, interview invites could come as early as August and continue throughout the fall and into the following year.

假設你的孩子能準時提交，面試邀請最快可能在八月就收到，並持續整個秋季直到隔年。

Medical schools start sending acceptance letters mid October.

醫學院會在十月中開始寄發錄取通知。

Applicants can hold multiple acceptances until the end of April, when they are required to choose one acceptance offer.

申請者可以持有好幾個錄取通知，直到四月底，屆時他們必須選擇一個錄取機會。

If your child does not receive an acceptance, they may be put on a wait list since applicants are turning down offers leading up to the April deadline, it's possible to get off a waitlist and receive an acceptance throughout the summer before medical school begins.

如果你的孩子沒有收到錄取通知，他們可能會被列入候補名單，因為申請者會在四月截止日期前拒絕錄取，所以有可能在暑假醫學院開學前從候補名單中被通知錄取。

The medical school application process is as complicated as it is tedious, and

醫學院申請流程既複雜又繁瑣，

Now that you understand what the application process entails, let's cover just how long it takes to become a licensed doctor.

既然你瞭解了申請流程的內容，我們就來談談要成為一名執業醫師需要多久的時間。

Generally speaking, the first two years are preclinical and focus more on classroom work and lecture.

一般來說，前兩年是臨床前階段，比較著重課堂學習和講座。

The second two years are clinical, involving clinical rotations, also known as clerkships, where students rotate through different medical specialties and learn practical skills under the supervision of residents and attending physicians in the hospital.

後兩年是臨床階段，包含臨床輪調，也稱為實習，學生會在醫院裡由住院醫師和主治醫師的指導下，輪調於不同的醫學專科並學習實務技能。

After medical school, there are three to seven years of residency, depending on your child's chosen specialty plastic surgery, pediatrics, or family medicine, for example.

醫學院畢業後，會有三到七年的住院醫師訓練，這取決於你孩子選擇的專科，例如整形外科、小兒科或家庭醫學。

This brings the total to 7 to 11 years to become a doctor after college.

這樣加起來，大學畢業後要成為一名醫師總共需要七到十一年。

Additionally, your child may choose to further specialize with a fellowship.

此外，你孩子也可以選擇進一步專攻，進行專科進修。

This can take anywhere from one to three years, bringing the total to eight to 14 years.

這可能需要一到三年，總計八到十四年。

The college degree that your child needs in order to apply to medical school adds on another four years of schooling before med school for a total of up to 12 to 18 years after high school.

你孩子申請醫學院所需的學士學位，會在醫學院之前再增加四年的學習時間，高中畢業後總計可達十二到十八年。

This also doesn't factor in any breaks or gap years your son or daughter may want to take.

這還沒有算上你兒子或女兒可能想休息或延畢的空檔。

There are BSMD programs that combine college and medical school together to reduce the time it takes to become a doctor by one to two years.

有些 BSMD 課程會將大學部和醫學院合併，讓成為醫師的時間縮短一到兩年。

Learn more about the pros and cons of the BSMD option from our video linked in the description.

Now the question on every parent's mind how much does medical school cost?

現在，每個家長最關心的問題來了：醫學院的學費要多少？

As you likely already know, medical school costs a tremendous amount of money.

你可能已經知道了，醫學院的學費非常非常貴。

While some schools are certainly more expensive than others, the average yearly cost of medical school tuition is nearly $60,000.

雖然有些學校確實比其他學校貴，但醫學院的平均年學費將近六萬美元。

Tuition at public schools is cheaper for in State applicants.

公立學校的學費對州內申請者來說比較便宜。

For example, UCLA charges about $36,000 a year for in state students and almost $49,000 a year for out of state students.

舉例來說，UCLA 州內學生的年學費大約是三萬六千美元，州外學生則將近四萬九千美元。

Florida Atlantic University College of medicine charges almost $32,000 a year for in state students and almost $68,000 a year for out of state students.

佛羅裡達大西洋大學醫學院州內學生的年學費將近三萬兩千美元，州外學生則將近六萬八千美元。

And all of these numbers are yearly tuition alone.

而且這些數字都只是每年的學費。

There's also the cost of applying to medical school, which includes exam costs, application fees, interview travel expenses, and

還有申請醫學院的費用，包括考試費、申請費、面試旅費，以及

Wherever your child attends medical school which varies significantly from city to city.

無論您的孩子在哪裡讀醫學院，這都因城市而異。

Parents, brace yourselves Most medical students graduate with over $250,000 in debt.

家長們，請做好心理準備，大多數醫學院學生的畢業時負債都超過 250,000 美元。

While they will be paid during residency, residents make an average of $67,000 a year.

雖然他們在住院醫師期間會有薪水，但住院醫師的平均年收入約為 67,000 美元。

it's tough to make a dent in that debt with a resident's salary.

靠住院醫師的薪水很難還清那筆債務。

But before you can pay for medical school, your child first needs to get in, which is no small feat.

但在支付醫學院學費之前，您的孩子必須先考上，這可不是件容易的事。

So what can your child focus on to ensure an acceptance?

那麼，您的孩子可以專注於哪些方面來確保被錄取呢？

First, they must take a step back and determine if medicine is actually the right fit for them.

首先，他們必須退一步思考，確定醫學是否真的適合他們。

High school and early college students still have so much to learn about the medical profession and day to day experience of being a doctor.

高中生和大學早期學生的時間，還有很多關於醫學專業和醫生日常工作體驗需要去了解。

You and your child can begin your research from the comfort of your own home by watching our Day in the Life series which follows attending doctors on the job and our so youo Want to Be series which breaks down what it's actually like to pursue various different medical career paths such as surgery, psychiatry or dermatology.

您和您的孩子可以在家裡，透過觀看我們的「醫師的一天」系列影片，瞭解在職醫師的工作內容，以及「你想成為…」系列影片，深入瞭解從事各種不同醫療職涯的真實情況，例如外科、精神科或皮膚科。

These series are linked in the video description.

這些系列影片的連結都在影片說明裡。

Additionally, it's important to get involved in a clinical setting by volunteering at a hospital and shadowing physicians.

此外，參與臨床環境也很重要，可以到醫院當志工並跟隨醫師學習。

This provides students with a first hand view of what it's like to work in a clinical setting as well as what to expect in a physician's day to day life.

這能讓學生親身體驗臨床環境，以及預期醫師的日常生活。

The last thing you want to do is invest tens of thousands of dollars into something your son or daughter isn't actually passionate about.

您最不想做的就是投資數萬美元在您兒子或女兒並不真正熱衷的事情上。

So so start this research as early as possible.

Next, consider pre Med major options in order to apply to medical school, students must complete several prerequisite courses, but

接著，考慮主修選項，學生必須完成幾門先修課程才能申請醫學院，但

the specific major they choose is up to them.

他們選擇的主修是什麼，則取決於他們。

A student can major in film studies and still be a pre med as long as they fulfill their prerequisites.

學生可以主修電影研究，只要他們完成先修課程，仍然可以成為醫學院預備生。

While the most common and straightforward path is biological sciences, what's most important is that your son or daughter chooses something they're truly passionate about.

雖然最常見且最直接的途徑是生物科學，但最重要的是您兒子或女兒選擇他們真正熱衷的科目。
