First you'll need to earn a bachelor's degree in a science-related subject such as pre-med biology, chemistry, physics, chemistry or physiology. Second, you'll need to attend an accredited medical school and obtain a license from your state. Third, seek out job opportunities by talking to former professors or classmates.
