What Does It Take To Become A Sleep Scientist Or Doctor?
Posted by: Alan in Sleep Disorder, tags: Become, Doctor, Does, Scientist, Sleep, Take, WhatA bit about myself:
I am going into a research/medicine related field of bioinformatics, so it will be easy for me to switch into biomed/biochem/etc if I need a different undergrad degree.
I’m not sure if I would rather be a sleep “scientist” or a “doctor”, but they are both as equally attractive to me. I would like to study how sleep works on the microscopic level, and possible develop drugs for treating (neurological) sleep disorders.
I am fascinated by dreaming and consciousness studies, and would like to study how (and why) dreaming and consciousness occurs.
Also, I would like to know if an undergrad degree in Bioinformatics would be acceptable for graduate studies in neuroscience/med school? If not, what routes would I have to take?
Thanks.
