Many people have referred me to a recent article in the New York Times regarding physicians’ discontent with medicine. It might seem strange to showcase this type of article in a blog about medical admissions. But I think reading the piece helps clarify why medical schools are so gung ho about applicants’ having clinical experience and why residencies and fellowships want to see applicants with multiple examples of dedication to their respective specialties.
The article’s author Sandeep Jauhar MD was an American Association for the Advancement of Science Mass Media Fellow with me.
