It is personal statement season, and 2011 med school applicants are faced with the daunting task of answering the question, "Why do you want to go to medical school?"
Tough question to answer in 5300 characters or fewer. Not sure I ever wrote a good personal statement, or that I could in the future. Two years from now I will have to, for residency.
Something to look forward to.
And then there's always the wisdom of this guy, talking to graduates at Stanford recently. If you acknowledge that the practice of medicine needs to, and is, changing, maybe the field is for you. Or maybe it is not.
