[quote=Anonymous]For anyone with kids considering med school, recommend they spend some time speaking with practicing docs in the field/setting they are interested in. Physician burnout is a real thing and with the loss of nurses and other support staff during and following COVID, docs are having to do a lot more of the administrative tasks that leave less time to actually practice medicine. Also a lot of private practices are getting bought out by larger companies that reward quantity of patients seen over quality of time with patient. For experience during a gap year, I've seen med students not coming directly from college who worked as lab managers/research assistants/lab techs in an academic research setting or at biotech/pharma, clinical research assistant, work associated with clinical trials support. Also support roles in work supporting patients (ie palliative care, hospice, hospitals). [/quote]
