Ask a medical student anything
Since starting med school, I've realised that there's a LOT of misinformation out there when it comes to medical school, admission into medical school, the education/training involved and practising medicine as a career after your training. Fortunately, Canadian medical schools recognise that diversification of physician backgrounds is vital moving forward and it's now (easier) for individuals of all socio-economic and cultural backgrounds to pursue a medical degree.
I've worked in a number of different jobs (both within and outside of science/research) before starting medical school (in Canada). It took me a few attempts at admission before eventually obtaining a seat, and I did a lot of research into the field itself as well as other options outside of medicine during this stretch. I also used RFD forums in the past - so thought I'd pay it forward and share what I have learned about the field and continue to learn going through the process.
Ask away if interested!
