Hi everyone, I was wondering what courses do I need to take if I major to be an ER doctor and minor in Psychology? How long do you think it will take until I get paid? I'd appreciate any information. Well, have a great day and God Bless! ~Brandy

It is good hear that someone wants to become a doctor. I am not an emergency room physician, so I do not know first-hand what is needed or required to apply to such a training program. In general, to apply to a medical school, one needs to complete all of the require pre-med courses at an university or college. Once in medical school, then the basic curriculum is needed. You may want to talk with emergency room doctors to learn more specifics. Jeffrey A. Gordon, M. D.
