Question
Hello,
My name is Alisha I am a 15 year old and wanting to presue the career of an anestesiologist. My question is what could i study to help me get more knowledge of what i must know when i get to college I already have plans to start some college classes. I am also going to try and get my CNA when I turn 16. But anyways do I need to study more challenging math and science courses, and AP courses in biology, chemistry, physics, and calculus. Well these help me  

Answer
Hi there Alisha
I'm really sorry but I am UK trained and based and so have no knowledge of your system. However my colleague Dr Levy shoul be able to help and it is worth browsing the past answers as this is a common question.
Kind regards and I wish you all success in the future.
