While studying to become a doctor, did you ever feel like you weren't smart enough for this profession? And if you did, how did you overcome that feeling? Cuz undergrad has this amazing way of reminding me I'm not as smart as I want to be and it feels like a dead end sometimes...
Thank you for your question!
I donโt feel smart ALL OF THE TIME!
In medicine, you are surrounded by some of the most intelligent minds our society has to offer. But being smart is not always the mark of a great doctor. A great doctor is passionate, hardworking and thirsts for knowledge. You have to be willing to put in the work, more work than anyone else, but it doesnโt matter because this is what you were meant to do, or at least that is what I told myself. ย
I was never the top of my class or did I ever get the highest score on any of my medical school exams. I did well in undergrad and medical school, I passed my exams and made it to where I am today. If you are passing your classes and scoring well on your exams then I think you are well on your way to becoming a doctor one day. Hope this helps.
