No. Need to go to a 4-year college.
2 :
not unless you are doggie howser!!
3 :
No and you really shouldn't. You need a broader education and maturity to be a good medical student and a good doctor. You can get in with three years of straight pre-med classes (maybe), but I would still recommend the 4 year degree and broader education..
4 :
I doubt it....4 years Pre-Med required before med school...
5 :
You can not go directly into a med school persay, but you can enter a program that offers extremely gifted students to start working on their medical school requirements in their junior and senior years so that they recieve their MD in seven years instead of 8+. They offer these programs at many schools, but here are the links for two: http://www.bu.edu/admissions/discover/medical.html http://www.mc.uky.edu/meded/bsmd/

Yes, University of Missouri -Kansas City offers just such a program (http://research.med.umkc.edu/med_admissions/default.html). It takes longer because they require that the student take general education courses on top of the regular med school curriculum, mainly in their first year. It's not the best med school in the nation, but neither is it the worst. Usually, the biggest difficulty of graduating med school at a younger age is gaining the confidence of the patient. Conveying such confidence and handling yourself in a adult manner takes time, experience, and maturity which is usually gained during the traditional college experience. It is only recommended for high school students who are sure of what they want, have a realistic understanding/expectations of the career, are mature and independent, self-motivated, and are intelligent and capable of handling a demanding work load. Do internships or volunteer in hospitals or clinics to gain a sense of the medical career if you haven't done so already to make sure you know this is what you want to do before comitting to it. The pros: -getting through med school a couple years sooner. -classmates will be other similarly highly-motivated students your age. -find out early in life whether medicine is a good fit for you or not. The cons: -lack of maturity or emotional development of the student -wariness of patients upon seeing such a young doctor, inability of student to gain patient's confidence -missed out on 4 years of exploring other career options and networking through the traditional college experience

Yes, there are 35 schools in the US that offer what is called a Combined Degree program. This link will take you to the list, which has links to each school: http://services.aamc.org/currdir/section3/degree2.cfm?data=yes&program=bsmd The admission requirements are high, so review each school's criteria carefully to make sure you qualify. If you have any weak areas, it's best if you don't try that route. But if you are one of the top students, it certainly is worth pursuing.

Does anyone know about the Sudbury Valley School in USA

Does anyone know about the Sudbury Valley School in USA?
I read a book (Free at last) about a school that only teaches when the pupils ask to learn something. Has anyone been there? I'm curious to know more.

1 .Yes, I know the school well. The school has an extensive press, with many more books, and a whole lot of free information on the web page http://sudburyvalleyschool.org. Though, to be fair, it is not strictly true that "the school only teaches when the pupils ask . . ." It is more accurate to say that the school *never* teaches, and that it is key to the school's philosophy that, in a caring and intellectual environment, people naturally learn. And that, in fact, such learning is invisible. Consider the way that an infant learns to speak. One wouldn't say that the child was taught how to speak. And yet, by the time that the child is age 2-4, s/he speaks. This is how students at Sudbury Valley learn to read, debate, do mathematics, etcetera -- unitntentionally, naturally, organically. I hope that this helps.
