American medical schools

American medical schools are higher education institutions that train students to become doctors. Typically requiring four years of study, these schools offer a rigorous curriculum covering basic sciences, clinical skills, and patient care. Admission is competitive, often necessitating a bachelor’s degree, high academic performance, and standardized test scores (e.g., MCAT). After medical school, graduates complete residency programs in their chosen specialties, where they gain practical experience. Medical education emphasizes both theoretical knowledge and hands-on practice to prepare students for the complexities of healthcare and patient management.
