Well, I'm not from the US so our system might be different. After highschool you start studying medicine. The first 2 years are preclinical. Basically you learn about the body how it's supposed to work. Biggest courses are anatomy, physiology and biochemistry with a few others as well. After that you move to the clinical part and learn about diseases, microbiology, pharmacology, start seeing patients and so on.
Yeah, I guess so. I just literally translated the German term. It's different over here in a way though as you will not need to apply for medschool after those two years. Once you're in (which is similarly hard as in the US) you're a medstudent.
Medstudent, (hopefully) finishing preclinical this summer.
What's preclinical?

Oh got it. FYI: in the US, that's called pre-med. It's basically a 4 year degree in a major that's accepted by medical schools.
