Thinking about medical school but worried you’ll crack under nonstop feedback, grueling hours, and the pressure to put patients ahead of everything else? In Episode 2 of the Jack Westin Pre-Med Podcast, hosts Mike and Molly dive into three gut-check questions every future doctor must answer before hitting “submit” on their AMCAS:

0️⃣ Can you take constructive criticism without shutting down?

• Why med-school feedback feels like “drinking from a fire hose” – and how to turn it into growth fuel.

• Sports-coach mindset shifts that make feedback your superpower.

1️⃣ Are you truly ready to put others first?

• The real costs of a medical career – missed family events, 3 a.m. pages, laundry piling up.

• Balancing empathy for patients with the bare-minimum self-care that keeps you functional.

2️⃣ Can you trust yourself and the process?

• Concrete ways to explore medicine (shadowing, scribing, informational interviews) so your decision isn’t a guess.

• The one mindset reframing that helps you stay steady when advice from mentors contradicts.

You’ll walk away with a clearer, more honest picture of the road ahead—and a checklist to decide whether medicine fits your life, values, and mental stamina.
