Have you tried calling or emailing some fellowship programs to ask your questions?

Recognized in what respect? It might help in the sense that they will see that you have more experience, so you might be more readily accepted into a fellowship program.

Keep in mind that what matters is your overall GPA. Your grades in individual high school classes are not considered. Did you...

Yes, the reason healthcare has become so expensive and the regulations so onerous is because of the involvement of third parties (government, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, medical device companies, etc.). These players have disrupted the patient-doctor relationship, and the situatio...
