i strongly suggest you concentrate in your nursing studies. by the time you graduate (after 4 years), pass the board and start working, IF you still want to be a doctor, then enrol in any school of medicince. too early to think of your area of specialization. you still have to go through 5 years of med school before you can actually take classes leading to a specialized field (could take another 2-3 years). response to your email- medicine proper is 4 years of classroom study. when you graduate you are already called a doctor. but then you still have1 more year of practicum (internship) before you can take the board exams. it is only after you pass the board that you become a licensed doctor (OK to practice medicine). you cannot enter medical school directly from high school. you need to complete a course degree first, preferably a science course related to medicine. on a per unit hour basis, tuition for masteral degree is more epensive than for a bachelor's degree.

The first two years in Medicine would be studying the different branches then the third and fourth is your specialty however, if I were to choose I prefer to work with dead people and that is where you specialize pathology and study further. Being a pathologist makes a good earning granting you passed all the necessary requirements and being good at it. You will be better off if you take your internship in a public hospital because the chances of being able to study different cases are at your advantages.

You can take basically almost any bs course in science & then go to med school. Normally people go to bs bio, psych, other allied courses, even pt & yes if you want, nursing. If you are going to medicine, it would be practical to enter the school where you want to go to med in, say take nursing in la salle then med in the same campus. Phoenix mentioned that the first 2 years would be just regular med, you do not have to choose which field yet. And then after that, you can make up your mind. It would be good to take your med course in Manila, but as I have said, it would be better if you took your pre-med course in the same school as well.
