Does everyone always love all of their med school classes all the time?

Question

I am considering it, and want to know if you have to be completely dedicated all of the time. I love biology and chemistry, but sometimes I need a break. Does anyone else feel this way, or do I just need to find a new career? I've always wanted to be a doctor.

Answer 1

If you wanted ,go ahead and follow your goal. But everyone sometimes feel tired or need a break,or even thinks that he or she may change "path" i mean career. It is normal to feel like that. When you take your break then you could think with clear mind what you really would like to do.

Answer 2

You have to be completely dedicated to the end point because it is a long, hard road. Not just med school but 3 or more years of residency after that and, for a few, a fellowship beyond that. Paying lots for med school and getting paid very little as a resident.

No, people don't love all of it. Just like college, some courses excite particular people, different ones excite others, and some just have to tolerated. The semester you spend carving up a cadaver is something that fascinates some and really bothers others, to take an extreme example.

Answer 3

Of course! Everyone in my med school class loves all their classes all the time! It's like paradise! I wish it would never end!

Seriously though, don't worry about it. If you like biology and you know you want to be a doctor, it will work out. You will still be able to pursue other interests. I felt like I had more free time during first year of med school than I did in undergrad (no lie). Second year takes a little more time and then third year a lot more time, but then you're a fourth year and you have nothing to do for 9 months but play golf! (very slight exaggeration)

Answer 4

sure, med college is time eating... And he does want to concentration and study on checks... i ought to easily concentration on your career and friends, etc.... for now. purely see the position the subsequent month or 2 takes you. some human beings are purely undesirable at verbal change so that you want to discern out in the adventure that your 'ok' with that. you won't be able to fairly replace that.. that's the reason human beings date so that you get to carry close them and such.

Answer 5

Being a doctor is not a right it is a privelege! ...it is a never ending work! never ending study! ....ya never stop studying! ..so try to make up ur mind while it is early & save urself while u still can!

Why be a doctor in the first place? if ya want to help people there are many ways ya can help! Be a social worker!

Answer 6

Heavens, no. It is a hard curriculum. I hated some of my classes. But I got through and you can too. It is workable. You do not have to be a science whiz. I was, and still am, interested in history and religion. You need to be a person first. Do what you enjoy, and work hard, and you will get through.

Answer 7

Not at all.

I found most of medschool mind-numbingly dull - there's just a lot of rote learning you need to do. Unfortunately, you need to have the background knowledge to have any hope of being a decent doctor.

However, it's much more fun (though admittedly can be quite stressful) once you qualify. Hang in there, it's worth it in the end.

Answer 8

If you can, then go for it. Med school isn't supposed to be easy and their very selective. Competition is tough but if your up to the challenge, your sure to succeed.

Answer 9

not all of students taking medicine love their classes, but those who love their classes make it to the top.
