Doctors: If here be one chief piece of warning you could furnish premed students what would it be?
Answers:
This is the advice that was given to me by an orthopaedic surgon when I was surrounded by undergraduate school and was certain that I considered necessary to go to medical school and become an orthopaedic surgon:
Keep an open mind through-out arts school. It may sound simple, and not like one of those in depth and drawn out pieces of warning, but sometimes the simple answer or the simple viewpoint is the best. He went on to explain to me that when he entered medical college he was determined that he wanted to become an OB-GYN. He was unresponsive set on this specialty and so he began the first year of medical school, trying to jump ahead and/or help yourself to all of the general information that he was research and only look at it through the eyes of how such principles would apply to the field of OB-GYN. It was not until he go to a leture durring the summer after that first year of medical school, that he got this same advice from a retired surgon. So, beside this new advice, he started his second year of medical school beside the open mind that he had been advise to have. As a result, he found that he was not only more interested surrounded by orthopaedics, but surgery as well. As he pursued the field (one in which he would never enjoy considered before), he came to realize that he was extremley good at it and have since become one of the best orthopaedic surgons in the southeast US.
I took his advice as well, and I am extremley glad that I did, because have I not, I would have pursued orthopaedics (closing my mind off to other areas of medicine and science) and would enjoy never become a toxicologist. I never would have found this field that I have such emmense zeal for and am very good at.
Just something to consider. Good luck to you. Source(s): Toxicologist
1. Find out what you are getting yourself into. I assure you that you don't know.
2. Study hard.
3. Find fulfilling accomplishments outside of school. Well rounded people make dutiful physicians.
4. (As the previous answer said) Keep an open mind.
5. Submit everything early, look good, and show up precipitate.
6. Network. This is a business like any other. Knowing the right people can make the difference.
