When Should I Begin?

The future is something that can happen or that we plan for. Although we can not plan and prepare for everything in life, our lives are significantly improved when we plan and prepare for our future. So when should someone begin to plan?

The truth is that the sooner you start the better, especially when deciding on the competitive field of healthcare

I Want to Be a Doctor. Can I?

One out of every four students wants to be a healthcare professional whether a doctor, nurse, or paramedic. Approximately 25% (or more than 1 million) students each year have hopes and aspirations of becoming a doctor (or health professional). Only 1% of them will have the opportunity to become physicians.

Among underrepresented minorities (African American, Hispanic, and Native American) students combined, only 0.1% will achieve that goal.

The doctor (health professional) road to success is built upon knowing what is needed to be competitive, making the right career choice for you and pursuing your goal with perseverance, persistence and patience. We created the National Premed 101 program to help you answer the question.

Can I Make a Difference?

There are over 1400 accredited colleges and universities in the United States. But here are the facts about schools that train health professionals in the United States:

125 Medical Schools

55 Dental Schools

550 Nursing Schools

17 Schools of Optometry

82 Schools of Pharmacy

132 Physician Assistant Programs

27 Veterinary Medical Schools

7 Podiatric Medicine Schools

4,365 Academic Programs in Allied Health

We Need You?

And with all of that, there has been a considerable decrease in the number of students entering medical (and other health professional) schools even though there has been a major increase in chronic diseases and infectious diseases with an increasingly aging population requiring additional medical and healthcare services. PHD International Inc. has taken upon itself, a significant project and company initiative, which is designed to dramatically increase the number of health professionals and help students get the information and encouragement they need to become a part of the much needed solution to our healthcare crisis.
