HOST: Welcome to AMERICAN MOSAIC in VOA Special English. I'm Doug Johnson. Today, we answer a question about how to become a doctor in the United States … HOST: Our listener question this week comes from Ethiopia. Solomon Mengist Gardie wants to know how a person becomes a medical doctor in the United States. It is not easy to become a doctor in the United States. Students must attend a college or university and do well in their studies. Students who want to become doctors usually study large amounts of biology and chemistry in college. Some students work for a year or two in a medical or research job before they attempt to enter medical school. More than one hundred twenty American schools offer study programs for people seeking to become a doctor. Competition to enter these medical schools is strong. About thirty-five thousand people compete for sixteen thousand openings in American medical schools each year. Students must take the Medical College Admission Test, or MCAT. The Association of American Medical Colleges provides the test by computer. Applicants for medical school need to do well on the MCAT. Once in medical school, students spend their first two years mainly in classroom study. They learn about the body and all its systems. They also begin studying how to recognize and treat disease. By the third year, students begin working with patients in hospitals. Experienced doctors who have treated many patients guide them as they work. During the fourth year, students begin applying to programs in hospitals for the additional training they will need after medical school. Competition to work at a top hospital can be fierce. Doctors-in-training in hospitals are called interns or residents. They treat patients while guided by experienced doctors, medical professors and other experts. Some doctors work a long time in hospitals before they are fully trained in a specialty. Neurosurgeons are a good example. They operate on the brain, neck and back. Some neurosurgeons spend six years or more as residents in hospitals before beginning private practice and treating patients on their own. The American Association of Medical Colleges reports that last year there were over seven hundred thousand active doctors practicing in the United States. HOST: I'm Doug Johnson. I hope you enjoyed our program today. It was written by Lawan Davis, Elizabeth Stern and Katy Weaver, who was also the producer.
