If you have someone special in your life that is studying medicine, I guarantee that they will appreciate the effort and thought you put into getting a gift that will either add efficiency to their daily life or motivate them for their future endeavors.

Whether you are looking at what schools to apply to or questions to ask the medical school you are interviewing for, congrats! You’ve made it very far on this pre-med journey! Knowing what you are looking for in a school is a great starting point for when you are applying.

Even now going to medical school, I am still nervous of my capability to study, balance everything, and do well. When I get a bad score or compare myself to others, I blame myself “wow, you actually think you can be a doctor?” But what defines you versus someone who doesn’t want to be a doctor is a combination of factors that come together to make this your calling.

If you guys want to be proactive and take charge in what you can do as a premed in terms of figuring out what medical school you want to go to, then going to a health profession expo is the way to go. This is a really great resource to learn about different medical schools!

This post is applies to you wherever you may be in the process; from freshman year to pre-application season premeds. Learning about it now will help you begin or make sure that you are headed towards the right direction, so let’s get started!

Regardless of what path you take to becoming a physician, you need to get some exposure into the world of healthcare. You can do this through volunteering, shadowing, or working.
