Medicine right for me?

First off my son is a recent engineer and physics wasn’t his thing. The way they learn and the analytical thinking was.

There is no class. The one thing missing here is that you “need” to have a “want” to help people. Plain and simple. I knew I wanted to be a doctor at around 9 years old. Later on when I was in middle school and at away camp some girl on a hike sprained her ankle. I was the one that wrapped her ankle (not sure why the counselors didn’t… Lol) and when she got back from the ER they made sure to tell me that the ER doctor was impressed with my ankle wrap… .

This means wanting to help everyone. No just those that look like you.

Many back in the day were psychology majors.

Take classes that excite and challenge you. Not everyone is excited about the chemistry or biology but having an interest to learn more is key and to answer the question of “why”.

Go into medicine because “you” want to. Not because it’s “expected” of you.

Also don’t judge medicine on who’s office you visit. Those experiences will differ and could turn you off. I am a medical mentor and I hear the good /bad stories. Look past that. Does what they are doing make you have further questions and get you excited to learn more?
