Is it just a coincidence that the popularity of shows like ER and (lesser so) Chicago Hope coincide with the increase in applications to medical school? I think not. More and more college students are going "pre-med" in hopes of experiencing the excitement portrayed on those TV shows. (Believe me,
its not always like that. I am waiting for the episode that shows Dr. Green spending four hours on the phone trying to get a patient transferred to another hospital because they have the wrong insurance, but that's another article :))
However, one cannot deny the importance and financial stability a medical doctor can offer. Here are some links to help budding docs on their way as well as wet their appetites:
The Doctor Diaries: Feel the pain of medical students struggle their way through their third year clerkships. Makes for inspired reading.
Although needs serious updating, Premed.edu is a nice place to start for premed and MCAT study links. Survival of the fittest.
Stanley Kaplan, the guru of test preparation services, offers some helpful hints on the MCAT. Click here for more info.
