“As I look back on medical school and all the happy memories that I have, they all have to do with my classmates.”With his fourth year in medical school nearly behind him, Ben is looking forward to the future, but will never forget those that made an impression upon him that will last a lifetime. We discuss important factors to look at when interviewing for medical school, how a cancer patient sparked his interest in plastic and reconstructive surgery, and what fourth year looks like for one pursuing the plastic surgery field. Finally, we talk about how to find balance with family life and hobbies while in med school.
