How do I Know if a Medical Career Might be Right for Me?

"First ask yourself what kind of future appeals to you. Do you want challenges, opportunities, a chance to make a difference? Many bright and motivated college students describe a "dream career" with the following characteristics:

Service: Allows you to help people and advance knowledge.
Action: Doesn't tie you to a desk all the time.
Respect: Your work and contributions are an important part of your community.
Security: Enables you to earn a good living with a secure future.
Excitement: Changes daily, so it's hardly ever boring.
Mobility: Your skills and knowledge are in demand, wherever you choose to live.
Flexibility: Offers you lots of career options from the same education base.

Few occupations meet all of these standards. None meets them better than a career in medicine."
