Your Medical Decisions

February 21st, 2012

If you’re going to be a doctor, you have a long road of learning ahead of you. And that means that you want to do your education in a place that is right for your style of learning, your needs and your interests. It’s important to get this right and to apply to the medical college that will best nurture your talents.

First, of course, you need to do well in school. Then, you’ll have more options open to you and more choices ahead of you.  Think about what type of medicine you think you want to practice, and see which medical colleges focus in those areas. Of course, you might change your mind many times during college, so don’t be too hung up on one area of interest.

Next, compare scholarship options and weigh your choices and your financial needs. Some colleges might be able to offer more scholarship money than others, and this can make a big difference in your life in the future.

Finally, talk to other medical students and see where they are happy. Their recommendations can be the most helpful ones in your decision-making process.
