#059 – On this episode, we wrap up our discussion about medicine as a field of study and as a profession. Today, we expand on areas related to medical school that were introduced during our previous episode. The path to becoming a physician is very challenging and requires a high level of commitment for a long period of time. Students who successfully get admitted and succeed in medical school often begin their preparation many years before graduating high school. Jankel and I have a profound appreciation and respect for the path that leads to becoming a doctor. That is a path that lends itself to plenty of misinformation, and because of that, we decided to talk about the most important steps and requirements that lead a student to become a medical doctor. We begin our discussion by uncovering quick facts related to the medical profession and the different medical specialties that await a medical student upon graduation from medical school. We also dive into the education required to apply to medical school, including the successful completion of the pre-med program courses. Jankel and I go into the details of the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), and what is considered a good score. Additionally, we give you an idea of what medical school is like. Towards the end of the episode, we uncover the requirements for admission to one of the most coveted medical schools in the country, the David Geffen Medical School at UCLA. This episode will help you gain a deeper understanding of the college admission process from the perspective of a medical student. If becoming a medical doctor is your goal, you will be further equipped to make the right decisions and take the right steps to get to your ultimate education goal.
