Career Connections
Dr.Slakey thinks that being a surgeon has an important leadership role.
“We’re in a team, so you’re not the only one responsible for everything going on with the patient” said Dr.Groinus.High School Preparation
The education and training you need is a doctoral or a professional degree. You can get it at medical colleges or any college that has a good medical program.Medical Career would be the only course that would be beneficial because you start from the basics and it gives you time to see whether or not you will want to go for that career.

References
A reference is when a person can talk to another person about someone and they can say something good about the person that is being talked about. A good reference is important especially for colleges because if you are not a good person and a good student no College or University will want you. The 3 people that would serve as a reference to me would be
Mrs.Litzhoff-Physical Science teacher, West Leyden High School teacher.
Mrs.Luciano-Algebra 1 teacher, West Leyden High School teacher.
- Mrs.Schumpp- English teacher, West Leyden High School.
