In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Medical school lasts four years and provides an intensive overview of basic medical science, the human body, and how to diagnose and administer medication. Medical school is a stressful, time-consuming process that requires dedication on your part. Make sure you give yourself adequate time to study during your time in med school. The first two years of medical school are academically based. You learn about basic science and human anatomy in a classroom setting. The second two years of medical school involve clinical training. You will work in a hospital with a team of other students, learning about medical work hands-on. After you complete medical school, there are several different routes you can take to become a medical examiner. Decide which route is right for you by weighing costs, efficiency, time, and your own personal learning style. Forensic pathology in the United States requires at least 4 years of anatomic pathology training followed by at least one year of forensic pathology residency or fellowship. Additional years (e.g. clinical / laboratory pathology residency and other specialty fellowships) can be added, if desired. You can also do a more multifaceted path, doing a program that consists of anatomic pathology in addition to laboratory medicine and forensic pathology. This path is a good one if you know you enjoy pathology, but would like to keep your options outside of forensic pathology open. A third option is to spend 5 years in forensic pathology and 2 years in anatomic pathology. A fourth option is one fellowship year of forensic pathology and one year of neuropathology, toxicology, or a related field following your basic pathology residency. These options might give you more expertise than crime scene investigators. Ask medical examiners you know as well as past professors and advisers about what path would be right for you. Depending on the path you chose, you might need to complete a Forensic Pathology Fellowship after completing your residency. A Forensic Pathology Fellowship is designed to help you further your experience performing autopsies by investigating violent death. You will work with law enforcement agencies during this time, and play an important part in solving crimes and providing evidence for trial. You might be working in a local medical examiner's office. If you like the work environment during your fellowship, try to stay in touch with any connections you make. You might be able to find a full time job here down the road. Fellowships typically last one year.
Summary: Attend medical school. Decide on the route you'll take regarding your residency. Complete a Forensic Pathology Fellowship, if necessary.

Problem: Article: It takes only about 30 seconds for a thought in your mind to enter your deep consciousness. As a result, thinking that you can simply just push it out of your mind won't work. In fact, It takes a lot more mental energy and effort to fight against a negative thought. Acknowledging negative thinking doesn't mean dwelling on it. Instead, you allow your mind to briefly accept that the thought has entered your mind, and then intentionally releasing the thought from your mind. Use visual imagery to allow your negative thoughts to be released. For example, you might want to imagine placing your negative thought on a leaf and then watching it float down the stream. Sometimes you have valid reasons to be concerned or worried about something, especially when feeling like you have no control over the situation. Therefore, it's okay to recognize that there is reason for concern. Just don't allow them to fester in your mind. Freeing up your mind from negative thoughts makes space for other, more positive thoughts. With practice and time, you'll notice that you'll have a tendency to engage in more positive thinking. If you begin to believe that your negative thoughts are valid, then they become your reality. Instead, ask yourself these three questions when negative thoughts take over: Are these thoughts reasonable? Are they rational? Are they reliable? If you can identify that a negative thought is unreasonable, then it allows you to put things into perspective. If you conclude that your thinking is irrational, then you can cease engaging in irrational behavior. Finally, if your negative thought is unreliable, then you can recognize that it is unlikely to be true. Figure out which personal experiences you've had that are behind your negative thoughts to gain perspective on your thinking and reasoning. You can then ask yourself what about that experience has lead to your negative perception. This sounds both counterproductive and extreme, but it works. Why? It allows you to see things in a more realistic perspective. For example, someone who is afraid of flying might be fearful of being in a plane crash. They might imagine themselves being the sole survivor of the crash, stranded on a deserted island and being eaten alive by a pack of wolves. Imagining their greatest fear can help them realize the absurdity of their fear.
Summary:
Acknowledge your negative thoughts. Release your negative thoughts. Have concerns without dwelling on them. Don't buy into the negative thinking. Determine the source of your negative thinking. Think of the worst possible outcome that could happen.
