Thanks for the questions! At this point, this is field that is most interesting to her, however, as parents we know that it could change but if she is truly interested, she does need to start shadowing, volunteering, etc (like you all said above)so we are trying to help her be as prepared as possible with this ongoing goal in mind.
Her father is a physician so she has had some first hand experience in the work required. Fortunately, she is an extremely hard worker as well as extremely goal-oriented and does well academically. We support this track for her as long as she wants to continue her pursuit. We also know that it is extremely competitive and that’s why we are trying to help her stay informed about what she needs to do. We are totally fine with her changing her mind–especially since she is the one doing the work!! (-:
Thank you again!!!
