One reason I wanted to pursue medicine was so I could punt the decision of what I wanted to do with my life further down the road. Yet, the sooner you decide on a specialty choice, the better. In this episode, we talk about some ways to decide on a specialty and how to make that choice. We discuss how to contact physicians to ask about shadowing.

Shadow Early and Often
Listen to Podcasts (The Undifferentiated Medical Student and Specialty Stories)
Interest Groups on Campus
Network and Talk to As Many Residents and Physicians as Possible

The best mentors are real life mentors. Find many and keep in touch with them. They will be your greatest resource throughout your journey in medicine. That being said, please reach out with questions or comments that I can add to the podcast episodes. I also offer mock interviews, application reviews, etc. Send me an email for more details.
