If you don’t personally know those who have been a pre-med and medical student, MD, or resident, it can be difficult to get a sense of what the journey of a physician truly looks like at each phase. This is why the Association of American Medical Colleges has created an entire *free* blog, Aspiring Doc Diaries, that captures firsthand insights and accounts of life as an aspiring physician. Contributing authors cover topics ranging from:
-navigating the school/life balance
-shadowing and volunteering experiences
-interviews
-motivation
-gap years
-patient interaction
-And much more
Aspiring Doc Diaries offer education and insights for any UW pre-health majors specifically pursuing becoming a doctor.
