Seller's Description:
This book is in good condition. The cover has minor creases or bends. The binding is tight and pages are intact. Some pages may have writing or highlighting.
This book explains what it takes to become a doctor and what to do when you become one through description and the personal stories of people who are on the same road. Because the personal stories are of real people from many backgrounds and not generic composites the book underscores one of its central points which is that medicine is a calling and people who hear the call can succeed in it if they work hard, no matter where or when they start.
Some of the advice on how to study, how to focus, and for starting a business is good to follow even outside of medicine.
Most of the writing is conversational as if the authors are taking you aside and saying "let me tell you about this," not just "you have to do this, that, and the other." The section on underserved communities is more serious and aims more directly at readers' heads. This isn't about a gown to try on for size. It is about a problem that needs a solution and gives a firm nudge to people who need another reason to go into medicine.
