I have shadowed my dentist, and it was very fun, I loved the doctor patient interactions and how you get to know your patients over the years. It really feels like you are making an impact in the community. I haven't shadowed a physician yet but I assume that will be also be very fun as well since I enjoy learning about the human body/biology, even though some specialties (like spine or neurosurgery etc.) won't have that same regular patient interaction to it since hopefully once you see a patient you have to never see them again (for the sake of the patient). I have thought about oral surgery, and that is definitely a solid move but obviously becoming one is very difficult and I don't want to bank on it.
I was hoping there were programs which would let me decide to go either MD or DMD after going to their professional school for two years (basically taking the same courses for either path) and my grades are really good in undergrad (4.0 GPA) so I don't think I would have trouble getting accepted into these programs. It just sucks that no school really offers one. I don't really want one where I get one degree first and then get the other later, because that would be too many years of school personally. It's actually rather disappointing that schools with both a Medical and Dental program do not offer this.
And I noticed that many people are showing examples of a dual degree program, but that is not exactly what I am looking for. I am looking only for a single degree, but choosing one path instead of the other during Dental/Med school, so the first two years are combined and then you select which path you want to take. Sorry if I wasn't clear the first time, but I am looking for a single degree in either Medicine or Dentistry, but I just want to be able to decide later once I am actually in the professional school to see what I would like better.
