THINKING ABOUT A CAREER IN MEDICINE?
What else do you need to consider?
You are at the beginning of the road and starting in the right place. You could have a dream to become a cardiologist, or maybe you know that medicine is your passion, but you are not sure what you want to practice.
There are many things to consider. Biomedical research, teaching, and hospital administration are a few examples to think about as alternatives to being a physician.
Don’t have your mind made up just yet, no need to worry. Your focus should begin with getting into medical school, but start to build an awareness of the possibilities. Research a sampling of specialties made available through the Association of American Medical College’s (AAMC) Careers in Medicine (CiM) program to begin shaping your interests.
In addition, CiM offers Choices, an e-newsletter providing an in depth look at a variety of specialties. Browse through some of the issues to get a better idea of uncommon specialties. Encounter little known details that can make things a bit more clear as you move along.
