Two childhood dreams. I gave up on both before attending college because I didn't think I could do it, but now while in college I have more confidence in my capabilities. But I don't currently know very much about what I should be doing to pursue this. Obviously I am in premed now, studying Mathematical Biology (sophomore). From there I hope to get into Baylor College of Medicine which has an Aerospace Medicine research branch. And then I have residencies to contend with and this is where my big question is atm. UTMB has a sub residency in Aerospace Medicine which takes two years and is something I assume I should do? A lot of nasa doctors have. Separately, surgery is the common specialty of Nasa Doctors. That, or Emergency Medicine. This isn't my specialty of choice. Pathology is the area I am most interested in. So what should my residency be? My choice doesn't actually prevent, or enable, me from being an astronaut. Or even a flight surgeon. The training is a separate process. But obviously training in surgery would be beneficial. How hard is it to do residencies in two different things? I know they take time.
I copied this over from r/premed, now that I know there is an r/nasa (I'm new to reddit), I would also like just any suggestions/tips. Anything would be great. I just want to be on a right track.
