Question
ok, hi, im a student here at cal state monterey bay im going to get my b.a. for psychology. Ok well i have an interest in Anesthesilogy. So I found out you need to major in biology. Im going for my master's degree at SDSU next year in 2011. So do you think I can still become a anesthesiologist and start taking the biology and required classes when i do my master's degree? What can I DO???. pLEASEE email me any and all information to my stardust8604@aol.com email.

Answer
Yes.
And here's what you can do:  Review the down-side of becoming a doctor in 2010 by going to www.AAPSOnline.org and seeing just what anesthesiologists and all doctors face today after years of training and educational expense...is it still for you?   Ask yourself why you want to pursue a master's degree AND be a physician as well (you sound like you're spinning alot of wheels and providing alot of higher learning institutions alot of tuition income for no good reason.)  Note that whoever told you that a bio major is req'd is incorrect--any major is acceptable and therefore your source and your process by which you check-out those sources is suspect.
