When T Michael White, MD, noticed how many daily social-media comments he was receiving from physicians who were unhappy with their careers, he realized there must be a problem with how aspiring physicians are preparing for their careers. Clearly, no one was telling them everything they need to know about what to expect-so he decided to tell them himself. From his own unique and often surprising experiences, Dr. White compiled true and fictitious stories and turned them into encouraging but balanced letters to those who are considering or just beginning a career in medicine. With heartfelt honesty and engaging humor, he reveals many things he wishes he'd known when he was starting out-tips on career development, choosing a residency, managing the doctor-patient relationship, providing quality in a safe environment, physician finances and personal and professional frameworks for a medical career. Most importantly, Dr. White stresses the need for physicians in training to take control of their own educational, professional and personal journeys by exploring why they want to pursue this career, finding the answers and moving forward better prepared for what lies ahead. This book is offered as a meaningful and valuable starting point.
