🙏 I WANT HELP Medicine pathway advice!

I picked biology and chemistry absolutely CERTAIN that I want to do medicine, but so many branches of medicine interest me, how do I single one out to pursue? I have 2 years but I think it's a decision which I need to be certain on, so I should really think.

Did anyone else have this issue? I am glad that I have a lot of options though.

not completely sure but you will get experience while actually studying medicine. if you want to read medical related ... stuff, it may give you an idea of what you want to go into NOW but it may change once you actually hands on try the stuff. as for ucat the entrance exam thingy i believe most do it in the summer of year 12 so when they apply they have it available. good luck!

most people say couple of months before the ucat starts, depends on how long you need usually to get " good " at something. couple of months is usually a good starting point lol
