While medical school application committees will look at the courses you took in college and how hard they were, you are better off simply going to college of your choice where you know you will be more successful. Getting more A’s at a regular and smaller college is definitely better than getting C’s in a top-tier.

This year, the applications to enroll in medical schools increased by 6.1 percent to more than 48,000, breaking records set in 1996 (Lopatto). Job openings for doctors and nurses sparked the interest of the younger generation, and this, I believe, is because of the enthralling and captivating experiences that result from these fields. The article “The Central Line” by Atul Gawande covers an example of what these future surgeons and medics learn while in the field. However, the student will not perform

Problemområde: The choice of a medical specialty is a career-defining decision with several implications for both students and the health care system. While medical schools worldwide are constantly producing new graduates, resulting in the phenomenon of “overproduction” of doctors, the medical specialty distribution remains unequal. So an improved understanding of the reasons and factors associated with the choice of medical career paths is important for the planning of effective intervention strategies

Relman, professor of medicine and social medicine at Harvard Medical School (Wekesser 66). This statement may have a great deal of bearing on reality.
